Unfortunately, most of the sports world is on hold due to the coronavirus; however, promotions like UFC and Bellator MMA have been releasing content to fill the void over the lack of live events.
Bellator MMA will take it one step further this Saturday on the CBS Sports Network with a series called “Bellator Recharged”.
“I am excited to have found a new home for Bellator’s vast library of programming on CBS Sports Network – some of which have been the biggest cards in the history of MMA,” Bellator president Scott Coker said in a statement. “This is a great way to increase Bellator’s visibility across additional ViacomCBS platforms, while giving our fans the opportunity to relive these incredible events again.”
The show will re-air Bellator 192, which was headlined with a bout between Chael Sonnen and Quinton Jackson in the opening round of the Heavyweight Grand Prix. Also, a Bellator Welterweight World Championship fight between Rory MacDonald and Douglas Lima took place.
Bellator 194 will also air, with Roy Nelson vs. Matt Mitrione as the main event. A lightweight bout between Patricky Freire and Derek Campos was the co-main event of the pay-per-view. The premiere episode will air at 8pm Eastern Time/5pm Pacific Time. Following the first showing this Saturday, the series will move to Wednesday evenings at the same time.
