Bellator is proud to announce that once again, the organization will collaborate with renowned lifestyle clothing brand RVCA to create a special edition Bellator Hawaii t-shirt to commemorate Bellator’s back-to-back live events in Honolulu at Neal S. Blaisdell Arena on Friday, Dec. 20 and Saturday, Dec. 21.
The exclusive t-shirt will be available at Bellator.com and at official Bellator merchandise locations at both live events.
RVCA has long-been known for their support and involvement in the action and combat sports communities, including skating, surfing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and MMA. Over the years, the brand has aligned themselves with MMA legends in BJ Penn and Vitor Belfort, as well as current Bellator talent Neiman Gracie, Aaron Pico, Kona Oliveira and Dustin Barca.
To honor the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, Bellator MMA has once again partnered with the USO to present a special live event free for the troops, along with their friends and families, on Friday, December 20 with Bellator and the USO Present: Salute the Troops. This unique show will be headlined by a heavyweight bout featuring the Bellator debuts of Josh Barnett (35-8) and Ronny Markes (19-7).
