Bellator Fighting Championships, founded in 2008 by Bjorn Rebney, redefined mixed martial arts by blending marquee matchups with a strong global roster. In 2023, the promotion was acquired by the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and reimagined under PFL ownership. On January 14, 2025, the Bellator brand was dissolved and rebranded as the PFL Champions Series. The last Bellator title fight occurred on January 25, 2025 at the PFL Road to Dubai event in Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena, marking a new chapter in the sport’s evolution. While Bellator-branded events paused in 2025, fighter libraries remain preserved via PFL-branded channels. This page provides a concise biography, highlights from the organization’s discography (note: Bellator is a combat sports organization, not a music artist), and information on upcoming season-specific events under the new branding.
