The Khan Family Reportedly Interested In Buying Bellator MMA – Shad and Tony Khan already own Fulham, AEW, and the Jacksonville Jaguars but it looks like they have their eyes on an MMA organization.
Bellator MMA’s Scott Coker recently confirmed that the company is for sale and there have been talks with the PFL. Ariel Helwani said today on The MMA Hour that he has heard about “multiple players” that are interested.
Helwani said, “I know that PFL was one of those players that looked into them.” Helwani said that PFL backed out but they are back in the mix as a potential buyer. He also said that Liberty Media and the Khan family have “looked into them.” He added, “To what degree is unclear. When I’m talking about the Khan family, I’m talking about Shad Khan and his son Tony Khan…”
Bellator MMA is considered the number 2 promotion behind UFC. Most of their shows air on Showtime but they have struggled to gain enough traction where they would be considered a real threat to UFC. Perhaps, that would change if the Khans or PFL buy them out. Click below to hear what Helwani said about the Khan family’s interest in Bellator.
