Bellator MMA, privately owned and based in Santa Monica, California, is a tier 2 media tech buyer, and a subsidiary of Professional Fighters League and Paramount TV Media. Founded in 2008, the organization employs approximately 200 individuals and reported $57.2M in revenue as of 2023. Functioning as a mixed martial arts organization, Bellator MMA features professional fighters in martial arts events.
The Professional Fighters League (PFL) implemented a new ranking system on January 27, 2026, which notably excluded Francis Ngannou, who vacated his UFC heavyweight title to sign with PFL in 2023. Previously, on November 14, 2025, former Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov was reportedly close to finalizing a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), marking another Bellator MMA veteran potentially transitioning to the UFC. Earlier, on August 4, 2025, former Bellator MMA champion Corey Anderson expressed intentions to remain active in the PFL across both light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, seeking to address unfinished business following his technical knockout victory over Denis Goltsov on July 19. This followed news from July 5, 2025, that longtime Bellator MMA veteran Oleg Popov, who joined PFL last year, became a PFL heavyweight finalist for the second consecutive year after going 3-0 in his tenure, while indicating he was not interested in a move to the UFC.
