Preview - Bellator 255: Pitbull vs Sanchez 2 ushers a new era for Bellator on Showtime

The Spike/Paramount/DAZN saga is over.

Bellator is now streamlining distribution and will be focused on staging shows on Showtime (with prelims on YouTube) in the United States. Working deals in other hotspots such as Ireland and the UK has led to more stability than they’ve had in a long time for fans to access their product, even if sometimes (like in he BBC iPlayer situation) it may lead to some minor quibbles.

All of this combined with a lengthy hiatus has allowed for the company to reorganize and emphasize on what makes them great, and their 2021 debut on Showtime is a grand opportunity to set a new tone.
