Bellator continued to make noise in the MMA world in 2017, putting on a number of high-profile and notable events that captured the attention of fight fans more than ever before. Although it wasn’t its busiest year in terms of volume of events, Bellator put on arguably more big fights over the past 12 fights than any year prior. Now it’s time to relive some of those moments in picture form. The flourishing organization put on five events between March and April of this past year. Bellator 174 kicked things off in Thackerville, Okla., followed by Bellator 175 in Rosemont, Ill.; Bellator 176 in Torino, Italy; Bellator 177 in Budapest, Hungary; and finally, Bellator 178 in Uncasville, Conn
