Bellator MMA is expanding, despite what recent rumors may be suggesting for the company.
MMA Junkie first broke the news on Thursday that the promotion was planning on officially launching a men’s flyweight category. News of this development has since been confirmed by other outlets. The specific date that it will kick off this new division is unclear, and no news has developed regarding the potential signing of competitors to populate its roster.
Despite having no official flyweight weight class, the organization booked over 50 fights at 125 pounds over the years for male fighters.
