PFL’s Acquisition of Bellator: Game-Changing Merger Shakes Up MMA Landscape
The PFL acquires Bellator in a game-changing deal for MMA.

The mixed martial arts world is abuzz with the recent acquisition of Bellator by the Professional Fighters League (PFL). This groundbreaking deal is set to reshape the landscape of the sport. Exciting news has emerged that a card featuring the best fighters from both promotions is already in the works for early next year.

Since the acquisition, the PFL has wasted no time in bringing on board some of Bellator’s top talent. Matchmaker Mike Kogan and PR guru CJ Tuttle are among the key figures making the move. Tuttle, known for his popularity among fighters and executives, is set to join the PFL’s ranks. Additionally, Megan Trapp, Bellator’s head of ticket sales, is also rumored to be joining the PFL.

The PFL/Bellator merger is just the latest in a series of eyebrow-raising moves by the Professional Fighters League. Earlier this year, they made headlines by signing former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and YouTube sensation-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Both fighters are expected to make their debuts in the SmartCage in 2024.

While the MMA community has largely embraced the PFL’s growth, there is one notable figure who remains unimpressed. UFC CEO Dana White recently dismissed the potential power of the merger, taking a swipe at both promotions in the process.

Stay tuned for more updates on this game-changing merger and the exciting matchups it will bring to the world of mixed martial arts.
