Bellator Fighting Championship Postpones Their Second Season

FiveOuncesOfPain has the news:

Bellator Fighting Championships will postpone their second season from the previously announced date of October, to January of 2010.

FiveOuncesOfPain.com has recently been able to confirm the news of the promotion pushing back the date of their second season through sources close to the event.

The reason given for the postponement is that Bellator is currently trying to finalize negotiations with a new television partner.

They were airing on ESPN Deportes this year on a tape delay, so I wonder who the new television partner could be?  Bellator seemed to put on some great fights, although I didn't get a chance to view all of the shows.  Hopefully they can work out a deal so that their product can be viewed LIVE, instead of on a tape delayed basis.

So the door is open for another MMA organization to get onboard with ESPN eventually. Interesting.

Yep. Maybe not in the next few months. But definitely soon.
