North-American Mitchell Chamale decided to reveal a little-known behind-the-scenes side of major MMA events. Dissatisfied with the working conditions offered by Bellator, the athlete decided to expose the organization's precarious structure, showing fighters sitting on cardboard boxes, on the grass, as they prepared to climb into the cage. He did not reveal which event the episode took place at.

“Fight for Bellator, they said…with all the production equipment they traveled with, they could have thrown some rugs. The (North American) State wants fighters to become professionals, but they do not offer any kind of help to treat them as professionals. I have to work both ways,” Chamale wrote on his social media.

The organization has not yet commented on the case. The curious thing is that Mitchell, 32 years old, has never even fought in Bellator. Having worked for smaller franchises, he has seven wins and two setbacks in his professional record.
