The Bellator Fighting Championships promotion was started in 2008 by Bjorn Rebney and Brad Epstein as a tournament based alternative to other MMA organizations such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Strikeforce. Unlike those organizations fighters participate in a series of tournament bouts, in a set weight class, over a season (usually between 10 and 13 events over 3 or 4 months). The winners of these tournaments are crowned Bellator champions, with the winners of successive tournaments in the same weight class earning the spot of no. 1 contender. Because of this, and unlike many other small MMA promoters, Bellator has been able to create a fairly stable organization, with a number of regularly competing, highly ranked and regarded competitors.

This list is an up to date roster of those fighters currently under contract with the Bellator brand. Unlike the UFC, Bellator does allow its fighters to compete in other promotions, so many fighters on this list may appear in MMA events outside of Bellator. Fighters are organized by weight class and within their weight class by their number of professional MMA fights. Fighters with the same number of fights are listed in order of their number of wins. Fighters with the same MMA record are listed alphabetically.

Each fight record has four categories: wins, losses, draws, and no-contests (NC). All fight records in this article are displayed in that order, with fights resulting in a no-contest listed in parentheses.
