The Bellator MMA (formerly known as "Bellator Fighting Championships") promotion was started in 2008 by Bjorn Rebney and Brad Epstein as a tournament based alternative to other MMA organizations such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Strikeforce.[1] Prior to 2015, when president Scott Coker made the decision to drop the 8-man tournament format,[2] Bellator fighters participated in a series of tournament bouts in a set weight class over a season (usually between 10 and 13 events over 3 or 4 months). The winners of these tournaments were crowned Bellator champions, with the winners of successive tournaments in the same weight class earning the spot of no. 1 contender.
This list is an up-to-date roster of those fighters currently under contract with the Bellator brand. Unlike the UFC, Bellator does allow its fighters to compete in other promotions, so many fighters on this list may appear in MMA events outside of Bellator. Fighters are organized by weight class and within their weight class by their number of professional MMA fights. Fighters with the same number of fights are listed in order of their number of wins. Fighters with the same MMA record are listed alphabetically.
Each fight record has four categories: wins, losses, draws, and no-contests.[3] All fight records in this article are displayed in that order, with fights resulting in a no-contest listed in parentheses.
