Here's what Mohegan regulatory head Mike Mazzulli told me about the Rampage/Mo fight and if there would be any sanctions:

Mazzulli: You saw me get up there, and I did look at it, and I’ll review the tape later. But I know for a fact, you know, no one got hurt. It was Rampage is Rampage, and King Mo is King Mo, and the bottom line is, tickets got to be sold. And you know what? I’ll review it. Highly unlikely I will fine anybody. No one got hurt. It was just a push.

Me: As a regulator, is it important for you to know from Bellator or Spike that that was pre-planned in any way? That must be germaine to your looking into it, right?

Mazzulli: Oh, absolutely. You hit the nail on the head. I was told about it, I was told about it yesterday at the weigh-in, and that’s why there would be no cause and effect to it.

Me: So you had an idea?

Mazzulli: I absolutely had a, yeah. And it’s something I don’t like speaking about. But, you know, you ask me the question, I’m going to tell you the truth. It’s going to be an interesting fight between the two.

Could he have meant that they told him that they were going to bring the other tournament finalist into the cage after the fight to have a stare down hype off but not necessarily that the scuffle was preplanned (all the while knowing it was likely because of the two involved)?

No, because he said it being pre-planned is the reason there'd be no suspensions for a pull-apart brawl. Pre-planning "having two guys in the same general vicinity" is not a mitigating factor for that. Pre-planning a shoving match is.

Bellator ended up with 880,000 viewers, peaked at 1.1 million for the Rampage fight. So they were barely above their average for last season.

quote:

ewport Beach, Calif. (February 25, 2014) – Bellator MMA, the world’s largest global tournament based mixed martial arts promotion and Monster Energy, the world’s leading energy drink company, announced today a new multi-year relationship making Monster Energy the “Official Energy Drink Partner” of Bellator.

On Friday, February 28th, live on Spike TV, the alliance formally kicks off during Bellator’s Season 10 Premiere from the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT. Monster Energy will be strategically integrated throughout the Bellator live event experience. Monster will own highly visible inventory inside the Bellator cage and activate at various consumer touch points in-arena. In addition, Monster is extending their Monster Girl program with a marquee position in sponsoring the Bellator Girls.

Monster has also expanded its athlete roster with the addition of MMA icon Quinton “Rampage” Jackson to their stable of sponsored athletes. The Monster logo will be featured prominently on Jackson’s fight gear as “Rampage” prepares for his February 28th Light Heavyweight Tournament debut.

“When sponsorship opportunities arise like the Monster Energy alliance, fighter involvement is paramount,” Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney said. “Bellator’s talent connects with Monster’s brand identity and as this partnership continues to develop, you will see more Bellator fighters have the opportunity to be involved with the Monster Energy brand. This benefits our fighters both financially and from an exposure perspective. It really is a win-win for everyone involved.”

Who else to promote your energy drink than Quinton "(energy drink fueled) Rampage" Jackson?
