British fight fans livid as Channel 5 cuts away from Bellator 206 main event for ‘Peppa Pig’

Bellator MMA cards usually don’t air live in the United Kingdom, but Bellator 206 was a rare exception. The main card was broadcast on over-the-air network Channel 5, but unfortunately fans who stayed up through the middle of the night just had their “Heidi game” moment.

As was a point of issue for fans on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, the pacing of Bellator 206’s main card wasn’t exactly warp speed. In fact, despite five finishes out of six fights, the main event between Gegard Mousasi and Rory MacDonald ended well past 1 AM ET.
