Decorated English rugby international James Haskell is set to don the Bellator cage after agreeing terms with the American promotion.
Earlier this week, Bellator teased that they would unveil an “international signing” via press release. On Thursday morning, the promotion revealed that it was the former Wasps, Northampton Saints and England flanker that had joined the ranks.
A heavyweight, Bellator’s press release describes Haskell as being 6’4’’ and 260-pounds. He has previously worked as an MMA pundit for BT Sports and has trained at London Shootfighters.
The promotion are set to hold a press conference to introduce Haskell to internationa audiences in London next Wednesday.
