Bellator 215 is set for Feb. 9 at Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, England, the promotion today announced. In the headliner, which is expected to air on Parmaount and stream on DAZN, Patricky Freire (20-8 MMA, 13-7 BMMA) will take on BAMMA champion Ryan Scope (12-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).

Also on the card, Newcastle native and former reality star Aaron Chalmers (4-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) will fight against an opponent still to be determined.
 
I'm all for fluffing Pitbulls record and maybe getting another highlight KO
 
Is Newcastle a big combat sports city? I honestly know nothing about it except their team:

Pitbull gotta eat I guess.
 
Next contender vs a regional prospect making his debut is weird matchmaking. If you just need a stay busy fight why knock a prospect off for it?
 
So whats next for ryan when he subs this guy? You guys keep overlooking scope...
 
Wait, let me get this straight. Bellator is holding a card in England the first weekend of February. Then two weeks later, MVP/Daley are headlining a card at an Indian casino in Connecticut? Why the HELL isnt Daley/MVP headlining this Newcastle card instead of Pitbull vs a regional prospect?? Bellators decision making is so stupid. This is why Bellator will never compete with the UFC. They will never be able to have live gates the size of the UFC when they don’t know how to properly build cards based off the fan base in the surrounding geography.
 
Seen scope fight before. He is a solid fighter, but a bit too hittable. not a good flaw to have against someone like pitbull. the man can hit like a truck.

I got Pitbull by KO.

Why Isn't Ryan Scope fighting someone like Paul Redmond or Norman Parke? This fight makes little sense.

i didnt think about it but i assumed they werent going to have any cards in england. so the fact that theyre going to newcastle with a shitty headliner then they booked daley vs mvp weeks before hand is laughable. the only excuse they should have as to why mvp/daley isnt in UK is if they weren't holding any events there for the time being. but clearly, they are going to england in february. what retards
 
This card is only for Western Europe, they have a budget as such, it might not even air in the US, this is paid for by 5Spike in the UK with a budget the likes of Cage Warriors or BAMMA would have. The fact Big Pitbull is on it is a surprise. They plan on having 10 events paid for by 5Spike and booked by the guys who ran BAMMA, including matchmaker. This is like the Challenger Series Strikeforce used to air, except it's in the UK and they aren't based in San Diego next to AKA, so can't get the Rockholds & Cormiers early.

DAZN have a deal to air MVP& Daley live, apparently on 5Spike so won't go off air for Peppa Pig

Interesting fight.

But has to suck for Cage Warriors, their MW champion is fighting Shlemenko in russia and the nr. 1 contender went to Bellator.

Edwards is a real talent. Fully expect him to give the fans a show.




Still cant believe mvp vs daley isn't on this card. Unbelievable.
