“After the success of our events in Torino and Florence, Italy over the last two years, we knew that it was time to do a show in Rome, a city rooted deep in combat sports history,” Bellator President Scott Coker stated. “The Italian fans have shown their passion for the sport and we look forward to bringing a huge card to Rome next year on July 7.”

Bellator has hosted four successful in Italy already, including Bellator 190 at the beginning of December. However, this will be the promotion’s first trip to Rome. The fight card, and the details of the event, will be publicized soon.
