The television deal is finished, it’s done. We’ll be announcing it very, very shortly — in all likelihood, within the next 12 days. We have a situation set up now where we’ll be able to give over 150 million people each week the opportunity to tune in and watch what we’re doing, and that’s a very exciting thing. We aren’t turning our backs on the Hispanic market of MMA fans who supported us in the first season. You will be able to watch the show in both Spanish and English language next season. One thing that fans were miserable about was the fact that the telecasts would usually be on a tape-delay. You’ll be able to watch Bellator season two live. There were a lot of issues at play that were reasons for the delay last season, but we’re not constrained by that moving forward. We’ve been working diligently to secure the right kind of match-ups for our champions. Hector Lombard, Eddie Alvarez, Lyman Good, and Joe Soto will be fighting in the interim. They won’t be waiting until we crown a number-one challenger in the season’s tournaments. They’ll fight either in strategic alliances we have with other promotions, or they’ll be fighting at the beginning of the season in feature bouts, perhaps outside of their weight divisions.”
