Describing Bellator’s recently announced deal with MTV2 as a “perfect alliance,” company CEO Bjorn Rebney hailed the union as a proper evolutionary step for the young promotion.
Speaking on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, Rebney said that the new deal with the national cable platform positively addressed most of the issues and problems that plagued Bellator’s recent deal with FSN.
Most notably, its events would be broadcast live around the country, at a consistent start time.
“There are no preemptions, there are no delays,” he told host Ariel Helwani. “It was problematic for me as the CEO of the company. It was problematic for fans who wanted to watch over the last two seasons.”
