Bellator MMA is now live and free on 10 Play

Leading global mixed martial arts and kickboxing organisation Bellator MMA and it’s crop of fighters, have found an Aussie home – live and free on 10 Play.

The company takes its name from bellātor, the Latin word for "warrior" and features a fight stable that includes Vadim Nemkov, Ryan Bader, Gegard Mousasi, Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, Yoel Romero, Lyoto Machida, Anthony Johnson, Patrício "Pitbull" Freire, A.J. McKee, Michael "Venom" Page, Douglas Lima, Juan Archuleta, and Cris Cyborg, among others.

Entering the cage on Saturday, 3 April at 12.00 pm, 10 Play is the only place to stream every round of action kicking off it’s 2021 calendar with Pitbull vs Sanchez 2.

Sanchez lost a unanimous decision to Pitbull in November 2018 but has since gone on to record wins over Georgi Karakhanyan, Tywan Claxton and Daniel Weichel, the latter two coming in the Grand Prix.
