BELLATOR U.K. TV DEAL
Bellator announced a deal with TV 5 in the U.K. and will air at least six live European shows this year. The shows will be based around creating U.K. and European stars, with the first show on 2/9 from Newcastle headlined by Patricky Pitbull Freire vs. former U.K. lightweight champion Ryan Scope.
The show won’t be airing on either Paramount or DAZN in the U.S. It will also be airing on a number of other channels in Europe. This is part of the initiative to target the U.K. in particular and Europe in general with regular free prime time shows built around making U.K. stars.
The show will be available in the U.S. on the Bellator app.
