UB.net to Partner with Bellator Fighting Championships

Paul Oresteen | February 6, 2010

Bellator Fighting Championships, a nationally televised MMA promotion, has announced that they have formed an exclusive sponsorship deal with UB.net. The deal comes as Bellator is going to be broadcasted on FOX Sports Net, NBC and Telemundo beginning April 8th.

“We’re super excited to tie the new UB logo to Bellator - the hottest MMA success story of 2009 - and are proud to partner with them in their sophomore year,” says Paul Legget, chief operations officer of Tokwiro, the owner/operator of UB.net.

UB.net will have a prominent presence on all Bellator broadcasts and at Bellator.com, as well as, a substanial on-site presence at each of the promotions events in 2010. Likewise, Bellator will have a presence on the UB.net site, offering tournaments that will give winners an all expenses paid trip to sit cage-side at different Bellator events.

“Last year, we watched from the sidelines as the new kid on the MMA block delivered some of the most explosive moments in televised fighting sports history,” Legget continues. “This year we’re elated to jump in the cage as an active player in the Bellator phenomenon, while exposing the UB brand to more than 250 million homes across the U.S.”

Bellator founder and CEO Bjorn Rebney says, “Bellator’s fans have great synergy with UB’s multi-million player group: they’re young successful and drawn to exciting, fast-paced competition. This alliance will be great for both companies and we are thrilled to be partnered with UB.net.”

Each of Bellator’s 24 events during the second and third seasons will be aired each Thursday in primetime on FOX Sports Net. The top moments from each week’s live events will be condensed into a 30 minute highlight style show to be shown late Saturday nights on NBC with a one-hour Spanish version to air on Telemundo every Saturday at midnight.
