When it comes to mainstream coverage, broadcaster Sean Wheelock sees
plenty of similarities between soccer and mixed martial arts.
Wheelock, who returns to the broadcast booth on Saturday for MTV2’s
airing of Bellator 36, has been a longtime commentator in both sports.
And when it comes to the mainstream media’s sometimes-reluctant move to
cover them, he thinks the reasons are more about the reporters’ own
limitations than any bias toward the sports.
