Spike TV may have lost the rights to the UFC, but they are definitely committed to the mixed martial arts business.
Viacom, the parent company of Spike TV and other entities like MTV, BET and Comedy central, has purchased a controlling interest in Bellator Fighting Championships and will move the fight promotion to Spike TV in 2013.
The news was first reported by USA Today late Tuesday night.
