If you ever dreamt of sitting in the crowd watching an MMA fight live, UB (UltimateBet) might be about to make your day with their Bellator Fighting Championships promotion.
The lights dim, the crowd erupts, the spots come on and the fighters emerge; there’s nothing that can compare with the excitement of the build-up to the beginning of a fight, and if you don’t believe me, why don’t you go find out for yourself courtesy of UB Poker.
UB Poker is sponsoring the Bellator Fighting Championships and if you play your cards right at the online poker site you could find yourself with a ring-side seat. The prizes being made available to UB players include 2 VIP High-roller Cage-side seats, official Bellator apparel, money towards travel, and even event photos. There are two upcoming MMA fights that UB customers will be attending. On may 6th at the Citi Performing Arts Centre in Boston, and on May 13th at the Monroe Civic Centre in Monroe, Louisiana. With packages like this available you might think that it would cost you a fortune to take part in the qualifiers, but in fact this couldn’t be further from the truth.
There are two ways of qualifying for the Boston event. On Thursday April 22nd there’s a poker freeroll, and on Saturday April 24th there’s a $0.55 buy-in poker tournament. For the Louisiana event the same options apply, with the freeroll running on April 29th, and the $0.55 tournament running on May 1st.
MMA, or Mixed Martial Arts, is the most exciting form of combat fighting available; it’s a full contact sport that incorporates virtually every form of fighting you can imagine. The Bellator Fighting Championships, where “Bellator” literally means “warrior” in Latin, is now in its second season, and tickets are selling like hot-cakes.
