The brand known as Bellator is now nonexistent.
PFL MMA released a statement addressing the future of branding Bellator. PFL acquired the Bellator brand and its roster of fighters in November 2023.
On Tuesday, PFL founder and president Donn Davis shared a statement on social media.
The official statement read:
Professional Fighters League acquired Bellator MMA one year ago primarily for its great fighter roster.
The PFL brand has become synonymous with the “win and advance” format and product innovation.
PFL has established itself as a premium brand doing things different to help grow our great sport of MMA.
Going forward all fight events and content will be PFL branded.
The Bellator brand carries a rich history that will continue to be respected and appreciated through select feature title bouts.
Fans will continue to enjoy the immense Bellator fight library and historic fight content throughout our social, digital, and partner channels.
All of our fighters are now integrated and connected in one powerful PFL brand worldwide.
Moving away from the Bellator branding is just one of the changes occurring in 2025 for PFL.
Another chance is that there will no longer be a season tournament with a $1 million prize for the champion.
