Jeg vil takke Cody Dresser og Hans Molenkamp fra Monster Energy for å hjelpe til med å sette sammen dette flotte partnerskapet, og jeg ser frem til å introdusere Bellator for en helt ny fanbase.»

"MMA er en spennende sport som appellerer til en bred demografi," sa Mitch Covington visepresident for sportsmarkedsføring. Ved å samarbeide med Bellator for å bringe mixed martial arts til NASCAR, er vi i stand til å bringe en frisk dynamikk til racerbanen og en smak av hva Monster Energy driver med, som lar oss alle få kontakt med en ny fanbase på relevante og meningsfulle måter for å heve serien ytterligere.»

Tom, Tony and Rich get back to action this week to discuss upcoming fight cards, including two big MMA events: UFC Fight Night Dos Anjos vs. Ferguson and Bellator 163: McGeary vs. Davis. We preview both events and talk about the matchups. We then move to the boxing schedule where there are multiple belts on the line this week all over the globe. We spend a bit of time discussing the big Manny Pacquiao bout against Jessie Vargas. Is Manny fighting for the right reasons? Does he have enough left in the tank? We’ll know the answer Saturday night. Rich also breaks down his suspicions about vocal UFC fighters trending toward starting some type of powerful fighters union. Could the astronomical selling price of the UFC actually be the main handicap for the new owners? Did putting such a high premium on the UFC unintentionally give griping fighters more incentive to sue the company? Only time will tell.
