In many ways, it was a breakout year for Bellator in 2018.
Now the promotion is poised to keep the momentum going in 2019. But before Bellator returns later this month to crown its next champion with the culmination of the heavyweight grand prix, take a look back at its past year.
The highlights include Rory MacDonald winning the welterweight title – but falling short of becoming a double champion with a loss to middleweight titleholder Gegard Mousasi … A.J. McKee staying unbeaten … Ryan Bader and Fedor Emelianenko working their way to the heavyweight tournament final – where Bader will try to get a second belt to go with his light heavyweight title … a huge Bellator 200 event in London … a pair of title defenses for Ilima-Lei Macfarlane … a pair of cards in Hawaii … and the promotion’s shift to DAZN as a new streaming partner.
Check out the video above.
