Bellator continued to make noise in the MMA world in 2017, putting on a number of high-profile and notable events that captured the attention of fight fans more than ever before.
Although it wasn’t its busiest year in terms of volume of events, Bellator put on arguably more big fights over the past 12 fights than any year prior. Now it’s time to relive some of those moments in picture form.
The flourishing organization put on just three events between September and October of this past year. Bellator 183 took place in San Jose, Calif., followed by Bellator 184 in Thackerville, Okla. and Bellator 185 in Uncasville, Conn.
Naturally, the promotion had a photographer posted cageside for every bout at every event. However, USA TODAY Sports Images photographers Dave Mandel and Kevin Jairaj attended, as well. To see the best snapshots from Bellator’s September and October fight cards, check out the photo gallery above.
