Based in Newport Beach, CA, Bellator MMA was founded in 2008 by Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney. Bellator MMA, the Toughest Tournament in Sports, features a tournamentbased, single-elimination format that awards the winner of each eight-person tournament a guaranteed world title fight against the current Bellator World Champion in that weight class. Rebney’s philosophy was very simple: Create a combat sports business model that mirrored every other major sport on earth. At Bellator, fighters control their own destiny through their performance inside the cage, instead of being beholden to a matchmaker or promoter who chooses the next contender for a world title. At Bellator title shots are earned and not given.
