Bellator : The next great MMA success story ?

Most people in the MMA community are already aware of this fact, but just in case you have been living in a cave for the last few weeks we at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ will remind of it. Bellator fighting championships have just signed a TV deal with MTV.

Now to most people this may not be that much of a big deal. This is where we at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ disagree. Bellator have in fact pulled of a major coup here. They are now going to gain exposure to a new demographic which probably has not had a great deal of exposure to MMA. http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ believes that this can only be a win- win situation for Bellator for the following reasons:

A new untapped market.

Generates a bigger interest in MMA.

Another choice of MMA to watch other than the UFC and Strikeforce.

http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ knows that most casual and hardcore fans are already aware the UFC is the most popular if not the biggest MMA organisation in the world. When people think of MMA they immediately think of the UFC (well most of the casual fans do any why). The UFC is now a multimillion dollar industry and has shows in almost every corner of the world. The demand to have events in new markets increases by the day. However it was not always like this as the diehards and hardcore fans are well aware.

The concept that really catapulted the UFC into the mainstream was the ultimate fighter reality TV show.
Since its inception in 2005 the ultimate fighter has been nothing short of a phenomenon. Looking back we at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ can say that’s when it really all changed for the UFC.

Bellator arriving on MTV may be the thing that launches that organisation to the next level. There may come a time in five or ten years time when MMA insiders and enthusiasts look back on this deal and say that’s when it all changed.
