Instead of spamming the boards everytime I see some cool news, I’ll post it here. I’ll also keep track of prospects I like, new signings to ufc/dwcs/Bellator/etc.

Movlid Khaybulaev has allegedly retired from mma. Javier Mendez said on a podcast that he has retired due to eye injuries. Really sad if true, he was one of the best fighters outside the ufc but couldnt fully showcase his potential due to the pfl tournament format

Merger is official. Bellator will run as its own brand for a few years but they will share rosters

Ariel also said it will operate mostly overseas. My guess is pfl is using the European connections Bellator made to run pfl Europe

More in depth updates per Donn Davis’s LinkedIn

Pfl is launching a reimagined Bellator product in 2024 called the “Bellator international championship series”

It will be 8 events and each event will have 2 championship fights 

He says the pfl franchise now consists of: 

PFL regular season
PFL PPV
PFL challenger series
PFL international leagues (they’re expanding to more than Europe. Want to do Australia and Africa as well) 
And now Bellator 


Sounds kind of stupid imo but this is big for mma as a whole so I’m okay with it

Cause bellator's branding is just too strong to give up. Just merge it all ffs

I hope that Champ vs Champ event is the first ppv of 2024. Probably going to do it in Saudi Arabia because of the new investment. That card has potential to be huge and rival ifc for one of the biggest mma events of the year if they do it right.

They’re also not adding any new weight classes btw so no middleweights or bantamweights 👀👀

Bellator has a BW and middle weight division though right? So that league can have fights at that weight.

Don't know about anyone else but I'm cautiously optimistic.  Of course they have proving to do but the second and 3rd largest mma promotions merging to be direct competition for UFC is great for the sport, the fighters and the fans.
