Based in Newport Beach, CA, Bellator MMA was founded in 2008 by Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney. Bellator MMA, the Toughest Tournament in Sports, features a tournamentbased, single-elimination format that awards the winner of each eight-person tournament a guaranteed world title fight against the current Bellator World Champion in that weight class. Rebney’s philosophy was very simple: Create a combat sports business model that mirrored every other major sport on earth. At Bellator, fighters control their own destiny through their performance inside the cage, instead of being beholden to a matchmaker or promoter who chooses the next contender for a world title. At Bellator title shots are earned and not given.

Mo will once again meet Emanuel Newton, this time for the interim Bellator Light Heavyweight Title. With reigning Light Heavyweight Champion Attila Vegh sidelined with a shoulder injury, Mo and Newton will now square off for a shot at the title. In their previous meeting, the two engaged in a back and forth battle that eventually ended with Newton delivering a devastating spinning back fist that earned the fight the distinction of upset of the year. Mo vs. Newton II now joins a night of fights that already features Chandler vs. Alvarez II, along with the main event of the evening, Rampage vs. Tito.
