Jimmy Smith is back to Bellator for Champions Series coverage

Jimmy Smith is making his return to Bellator as a commentator. The veteran combat sports and professional wrestling broadcaster and radio host will be back in the booth for Bellator Champions Series: Dublin on June 22. It has been confirmed by promotion officials that Smith will only be calling Bellator cards, not PFL-branded events. MMA Fighting was the first to report this news.

Smith, 46, previously worked for Bellator from just after the promotion’s second season in 2010 until his departure in December 2017. He then signed a one-year deal with the UFC in January 2018, but his contract was not renewed in January 2019. Smith then took on commentary duties for Invicta FC.

After working as a play-by-play commentator for WWE’s Monday Night Raw in May 2021, Smith and WWE parted ways in October 2022. He was also the host of SiriusXM Fight Nation from September 2020 until mid-May 2024. This return to Bellator marks a full circle moment for Smith in his broadcasting career.
