MMA Fighting reports that Bellator MMA has announced a November tentpole event set for Saturday November 6th in Saint Louis. It will be the fourth quarterly event since Scott Coker took over.
The event will feature a featherweight title fight between Patricio Freire and Daniel Straus. Will Brooks will defend his lightweight championship against Marcin Held. In addition, Michael Chandler and Bobby Lashley are expected to be on the card as well.
On September 19th Bellator MMA will cross-promote an event with Glory Kickboxing as the event will feature a cage and ring to accommodate both types of fights.
Payout Perspective:
The tentpole events for Bellator MMA have been an overwhelming success on Spike TV. Last November, Bellator 131 produced the best ratings for the organization and was surpassed by this June’s tentpole event. We shall see if it will continue with the quarterly momentum with September’s cross-promotion and November’s Bellator event.
