Bellator MMA launched their relationship with Spike TV on Thursday night with a card that included two championship fights and two light heavyweight tournament bouts.
Prior to the Spike TV portion of the card that took place at the Bren Events Center in Irvine, California, fans could log on to SpikeTV.com to watch the seven fights on the prelims.
While the reviews of the actual in-cage performances of the fighters were mixed, there were at least five memorable moments from Bellator’s debut on Spike.
Here are the lasting memories from Bellator 85 (in no particular order).
