At the bottom of my Television screen it says "Bellator Fighting Championships 48, tomorrow night, MTV 2.  You think spike will try to get Bellator fighting?

Same company owns Spike and MTV2...so I'd say to be expected now

I think it'd be very beneficial for Bellator. I would love nothing more than to watch it as much as I do UFC/SF. I've heard nothing but great feedback from that organization. So it'd be very smart for them to try to have a partnership with Spike.

Bellator on Spike would rock! I think it would draw far more casual fan attention there than on MTV2.

Wonder if they would rip off TUF and create a show for guys fighting to win a spot in the next tournament...Be cool to see an Unleashed type show of Bellator!!

i bet they might have a womans tuf if it happens. MTV has alot of shows that cater to guys and they love putting people in houses with drama. women have more drama than men in a house. i get that from my girlfriend who watches bad girl club on cable so consider the source. :- }

@Wolf.. that is actually a great idea.  Would bring the ratings and more attention to the gals that deserve it.

There have been rumors of Bellator moving over to Spike ever since UFC got into talks with other networks. Signs like this make me think it's almost definite that they will move over eventually. Bjorn says he is happy with MTV2 for now, but I think eventually there is no way around it. Spike needs MMA and Bellator needs viewers. They won't get that on MTV2.

Bellator on Spike hd would be excellent. mtv2 is just such an awful channel. most people don't get it and even if they do it is in standard definition

Exactly Pop. I'd definitely be tuning in more to Bellator if they came to Spike.
