Despite previous reports that Jimmy Smith would not serve as a part of
Bellator Fighting Championships’ upcoming fourth season, the veteran
color commentator will indeed return to the broadcast booth.
Bellator officials today announced that Smith will again serve alongside
play-by-play man Sean Wheelock for this season’s MTV2 broadcasts.
“With their wealth of experience, knowledge of the game and excitement
for MMA, I truly believe that we have the best broadcast team in the
sport,” Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney stated in the official
release.
