Bellator will hold fights pre-race during select races during the season.....

This will expose Bellator to a huge casual fan base its a very smart move,they already did this with Monster Motor cross events but this is on a whole other level.

Now NASCAR is saying it isn't true but the Monster thing stI'll seams to be on.

Yeah the relationship is between Monster and Bellator not NASCAR but there will be fights at nascar races.


Bellator MMA announced on Monday that it will partner with Monster Energy and several tracks to hold matches at select races in 2017. While Bellator described the partnership as “with the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series” a NASCAR spokesperson sent Motorsport.com  the following statement, “NASCAR does not have a partnership with Bellator.”



The specific match ups have yet to be announced, but Bellator has stated that the following races will have MMA bouts featured on the event:

Monster Energy All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 20

Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway on August 19

Alabama 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on October 15

Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 19
