Bellator 206 “Mousasi vs. MacDonald” takes place Sept. 29, 2018 at SAP Center in San Jose, California. Middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi (44-6-2) will make his first defense of the belt as Welterweight champion Rory MacDonald (20-4) challenges him for the gold.
The entire show airs live exclusively on DAZN in the United States, while U.K. fans were going to be forced to wait a week to watch it on tape delay. Bellator President Scott Coker came through for the U.K. fans with some good news — they won’t have to wait after all.
Alright U.K. fans the wait is over “HERE…WE…GO!” – @GoldieOnTv#Bellator206 will air LIVE on @Channel5_TV this Saturday in the U.K.
