They are putting on great fights and are now going to be seen by more people which will showcase there tournament style which I have to say I'm totally loving.

Thursday nights are not a great night for me tho, because of Jiu Jitsu. Hopefully it starts at 10 so I can catch it. Hopefully this one sticks and doesnt go the route of the IFL. Not a bad deal here.

It will be nice to be able to watch it live and in english! Just goes to show there are plenty of network deals to be had when someone has tact and negotiation skills.

It says that the fights will air live, but all of the regional Foxsports stations have contracts with Baseball, Basketball, and College Football teams that will take precedence ahead of Bellator, in the end you are going to end up hoping to catch the replay at 2am, unless they do some fancy scheduling. Telemundo, and NBC are good to have locked up. Overall, I guess it is a good day for Bellator, but not as good in my opinion if they were still in the ESPN family, and could have scored a slot on ESPN2.
