Bellator MMA launched an exclusive channel on Pluto TV earlier this week, with plans to show more than 500 fights from its archive. The library includes bouts from past and present world champions and other notables, including Ryan Bader, Douglas Lima, Patricio “Pitbull” Freire, Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Chael Sonnen and Gegard Mousasi.
Pluto is a ViacomCBS-owned free streaming service that also hosts league channels for the NFL, MLS, PGA Tour and the Big Sky college conference, as well as other sports networks such as Stadium, CBS Sports HQ and Fox Sports. Bellator is owned and operated by ViacomCBS.
In June 2018, Bellator signed a nine-figure, multiyear agreement to stream its live fights on subscription service DAZN. While that service offers live fights, Bellator’s new Pluto channel gives fans a free alternative for content.
