The Bellator 296 Change Promotion will start tomorrow (Friday, May 12, 2023) in Paris, France.
Despite the constant trips abroad, including back to Paris for the upcoming event, Bellator is broadcasting in the US on Showtime. However, it has been somewhat more difficult to watch over the years internationally. Canada in particular has had a bit of a hard time with the country’s fans demanding an offer to return to the country. TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter reported today that Bellator’s Canadian streams, previously on her YouTube channel, will now move to the Bellator website. It will come at a price though.
“Going forward, Bellator MMA events will be available to Canadians on Bellator.com and will no longer be shown on YouTube,” Bronsteter chirp.
“A 7-day ticket to see Bellator MMA events (and the entire card replay) will cost $19.50 CAD starting at tomorrow’s Bellator 296 event.”
Tomorrow’s card will see the return of former Middleweight Champion, Gegard Musashi, who is looking to bounce back from his June 2022 title loss to Johnny Iblin. Standing in his way is the brother of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) captain Leon Edwards, Fabian Edwards. It is very likely that the winner will expect a title opportunity coming their way.
