The deal was officially announced on Monday.

Shockwaves were sent through the world of MMA on Monday when the Professional Fighters League (PFL) announced that it had acquired Bellator.

This deal will bring two of the world's biggest MMA organisations under one roof and already a 'mega event' is being planned for 2024

One name which is set to feature prominently is Jake Paul who earlier this year signed a deal to fight in the PFL and he took to social media to give his reaction to the news.

"Massive news, the PFL has acquired Bellator," Paul said on X

"This is insane news for the whole entire industry and it makes PFL even more of a global powerhouse with a fight roster equal to that of the UFC’s.

"We have some challenges, let’s prove it, their champions versus our champions, let’s make it happen."

Paul is supposedly set to make his MMA debut in 2024 as a part of the PFL's newly created Super Fight division with his first opponent being former UFC star Nate Diaz. 

The pair have already faced each other once inside a boxing ring in August with Paul being declared the winner on all three judges' scorecards.
