With Bellator in the midst of promoting the biggest card in company history – Bellator 33 – which features a superfight between lightweight stars Eddie Alvarez and Roger Huerta along with a welterweight title match between unbeatens Ben Askren and Lyman Good, there have been complaints from fans about preemptions which make finding the organization’s fights difficult.

But company Bjorn Rebney recognizes that addressing the issue is a pivotal development in any future growth. Currently in the midst of negotiations for TV rights to the upcoming fourth season which will begin in February 2011, Rebney says live television is a must.
