Espinoza is an employee of the Paramount executives … he has no say on this

Nice looking goodbye card

If this is truly a goodbye card, I find it quite bittersweet that they finally got their matchmaking back to a fairly good level in the last year or so, only for it to be the end

Yes it is a goodbye card … Bellator parent company is closing their sports division …

Oh I know that. It makes it seem extra odd that there is a grand Prix semi final on the card

 

[Go Go Plata]

Wasnt there talks of a RIZIN x Bellator NYE card? I think B301 will just be the last Bellator in America but they'll still do a crossover in Japan

My thoughts exactly

[jayt1202]

Will Bellator fighters be able to fight on the Rizin NYE card? I really hope so as we could get some good matchups again.

Cheecaga as Andrei Arlovski would say.

I think that’s how all Slavic people say Chicago, everyone including myself say it like that

 

[GIBLERTBAPTISTA]

Mamedov, sabatello and Jackson all on one card. Thats gotta be illegal. At least Outlaw isn't booked too

 

[GIBLERTBAPTISTA]

I just noticed Outlaw is actually on the card too.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Will be a sad day and the non ufc scene will get significantly worse. Think Coker said something about 302 as well so I assume that’s gonna be LW Grand Prix final in January and then out

I need Shabliy vs Nurmagomedov, God damn it I hope we get the conclusion of the LW GP.

Is Bellator getting sold or not? If so, when?

 

[TorontoTO]

Is Bellator getting sold or not? If so, when?

Next month or so. Probably will be done by the end of the year

 

[TorontoTO]

So the event is next week, in 5 days. I am assuming PFL is in full control now so if this is how they advertise future Bellator cards, might as well just shutter the promotion. Probably one of the better Bellator cards and no promotion

When will the sale be openly and officially acknowledged?
