Was it a recent decision not to broadcast this live on Paramount?

Yep

On 26 June 2018, DAZN announced a five-year streaming rights deal with the Viacom-owned mixed martial arts promotion Bellator, which will begin with Bellator 206 on 29 September 2018, and include the U.S. and all other regions currently served by DAZN. The package will include cards broadcast on linear television by Paramount Network, as well as 7 exclusive cards per-year.

Bellator's ratings are on par with or lower than COPS reruns so it wouldn't surprise me if Viacom wants them off TV once in a while so they can get more reliable numbers with things like tonight's Indiana Jones marathon.

thankfully i'm able to pull up the fights. Wanderlei looks fat as gently caress. I have this in a small window on my computer and EBI up on my TV.

DAZN? Free month trial? For this card? Sure, why not? Looking forward to some good fights. Considering Wanderlei and Rampage originally got me in to MMA; lets do it!

Nah, but it is a lot of hype for a couple of aged fighters who look heavy and will probably gas badly.

Goddamn, Lima's leg kicks are loving nasty. He hasn't even hit that many yet and Koreshkov's leg already is swelling up like Rory's in that last fight.

Just to clarify - Rory is fighting in the tournament as the champ? And he's fighting in every round, not just fighting the winner? So the belt is going to be on the line in each round? And to make it even and fair all of the fights will be 5*5?

If that's how it works... Neat, I guess. Convoluted but makes sense in the end kinda.

This is correct.

Rory's trying to become champ champ vs Mousasi tonight, but his 1st tournament bout is vs Fitch.

Koreshkov is so uncomfortable fighting at Southpaw he keeps naturally switching to Orthodox and reminding himself to go back to Southpaw.
