Bellator signs seven French fighters, including former Road FC champ Mansour Baranoui

Bellator’s roster just got a little bigger.

On Thursday, the promotion announced the signing of seven new French fighters to multifight contracts in an effort to expand Bellator’s presence in France’s growing MMA scene.

The news comes almost a month after Bellator’s second event in the France, Bellator 280, which took place May 6 at the Accor Arena in Paris. Bellator had first made history as the first major MMA promotion to host an event there in October 2020 with Bellator 248 following France’s legalization of the sport.

Below is the list of all seven French fighter additions to Bellator’s roster.
