List of current Bellator MMA fighters

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Jordan Young (fighter))

List of current Bellator MMA fighters records current Bellator MMA (Bellator) fighters' information, country origins, recent fighter signings and departures, fight schedules and results and the champion of each division. Unlike the UFC, Bellator does allow its fighters to compete in other promotions, so many fighters on this list may appear in MMA events outside of Bellator.

Background

[edit]

Bellator MMA (formerly known as "Bellator Fighting Championships") promotion was started in 2008 by Bjorn Rebney and Brad Epstein as a tournament based alternative to other MMA organizations such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Strikeforce.[1] Prior to 2015, when president Scott Coker made the decision to drop the 8-man tournament format,[2] Bellator fighters participated in a series of tournament bouts in a set weight class over a season (usually between 10 and 13 events over 3 or 4 months). The winners of these tournaments were crowned Bellator champions, with the winners of successive tournaments in the same weight class earning the spot of no. 1 contender.

Notes/key

[edit]
  1. This list provides an up-to-date roster of all fighters currently competing under the Bellator MMA promotional banner. The list excluded fighters who have not fought for more than two years and are not subjected to suspension.[note 1]
  2. All names presented are in accordance with Sherdog website profiles and may include common nicknames or alternative spellings rather than birth names.[note 2]
  3. Fighters are organized by weight class and within their weight class by their date of debut in Bellator MMA.[note 3]
  4. MMA records below are retrieved from Sherdog's website.[note 4]
  5. The flags listed in these tables are in accordance with the Sherdog's website and may not fully or accurately represent the full citizenship of the peoples listed.
  6. WC = Weight Class; G = Gender; SW = Strawweight; FYW = Flyweight; BW = Bantamweight; FW = Featherweight; LW = Lightweight; WW = Welterweight; MW = Middleweight; LHW = Light heavyweight; HW = Heavyweight; WSW = Women's Strawweight; WFYW = Women's Flyweight; WBW = Women's Bantamweight; and WFW = Women's Featherweight.[note 5]
  7. Fighters' age and height are based on information obtained from Sherdog's website.[note 6]
  8. Each fight record has four categories: wins, losses, draws and no-contests (NC).[note 7]
  9. Number of fighters in each division is counted as per date indicated only for the number could change week by week.[note 8]
  10. Rankings are based on information obtained from the UFC's website and updated when information has been obtained from the Bellator's website (Increase / Decrease = movement in rankings, (C) = Champion, (IC) = Interim Champion, and (NR) = not previously ranked).[note 9]
  11. The tables are sortable and the calculation for Bellator MMA and MMA records (Win–loss-Draw (No Contest)) are formulated as follows: [note 10]
    • Plus one point of the total wins for fighters having not lost a fight: 5–0–0 = 6
    • Negative points of total losses for fighters having not won a fight: 0–3–0 = -3
    • Add number of wins to the winning percentage: 10–1–0 = 10.90 | 10 + (10/11)
    • A draw counts as 0.5: 8–4–1 = 8.65 | 8 + (8.5/13)
    • No contest does not factor as one of the variables of the calculation: 8–2–0 (1 NC) = 8.80 | 8 + (8/10)

These fighters have either been released from their Bellator contracts, or announced their retirement, over the course of the last month. If their release has not been announced, then they have been listed here based upon their removal from the Bellator's rosters.
