Video: Chael Sonnen, Royce Gracie, Jake Hager among Bellator stars on USO Tour in Honolulu

HONOLULU – For the second straight year, Bellator has touched down in Hawaii for a doubleheader weekend of events.

And once again, the promotion is front-ending the cards with a show exclusively for U.S. military troops stationed in Honolulu.

“Bellator and USO Present: Salute the Troops 2019” (Bellator 235) takes place Friday at Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu. The main card airs on Paramount and streams on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie.

Monday and Tuesday, Bellator fighters and personalities took part in a USO Tour to not only help entertain some of the troops at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, but to learn a little themselves about what their jobs are like.

The fighters and Bellator on-air talent members visited the missile destroyer ship USS William P. Lawrence for a tour and had lunch on board with sailors; attended an F-22 launch; took in the fire trucks and rescue equipment at Hickam Fire Department; and conducted a jiu-jitsu seminar.

Bellator fighters and talent members included Royce Gracie, Khonry Gracie, Chael Sonnen, John McCarthy, Jake Hager, Jay Glazer and Mike Goldberg.

Check out the video above to see them interacting with troops in Hawaii ahead of the Friday-Saturday events.
