I wouldn't call Bellator a minor league.. they are pretty much #3 in MMA right now.. behind UFC and Strikeforce.. and they are only in their 2nd year. They have top fighters like Eddie Alvarez (#3 Lightweight in the World) and Roger Huerta (who just got beat in a great fight with Pat Curran.. cousin of Jeff Curran.. in a 3 round decision).
They fight in a tournament setting to determine who will fight for the championship against the current champion for each weight class. Last year was their first tournament, and each division determined a champion. They had 3 divisions last year - Lightweight (155 lbs), Welterweight (170 lbs), and Middleweight (185 lbs).. this year they added the Featherweight division (145 lbs) to their tournament schedule.

Last year and this year.. I've actually been enjoying Bellator more than the UFC. You can watch Bellator on FSN (I think). They have 1 hour shows late at night... check your local listings!
