Jason Teiken

I have written and produced fighter profiles for more then 100 Bellator MMA lives shows.

I supervised field shoots and edits for over 100 live Bellator MMA fight cards. My ability to tell stories on the run, to effectively communicate with my DPs and editors meant we were able to develop Bellator fighters as larger then life characters and give each of their fights a context in the Bellator MMA mythology. Along with overseeing the live show story elements, I wrote and produced a dozen long form shoulder documentaries promoting Bellator fight cards. I also wrote and produced Kimbo Slice: One of a Kind, Spike's tribute to the late cage fighting legend, Kimbo Slice.

This year, former Pride FC heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko will lace up a pair of four ounce gloves and make his Bellator MMA debut. This half hour special was an in depth profile of the mixed martial artist that many consider the greatest of all time.

After the Viacom owned fight promotion Bellator MMA signed superstar Chael Sonnen, this hour long special previewed his fight against the mixed martial arts legend Tito Ortiz.

Wrote and produced this hour long Bellator MMA shoulder program that revisited the most explosive moments and the biggest stars of 2016.

Wrote and produced Spike's one hour tribute to Kimbo Slice, the street fighter turned MMA superstar who died tragically on June 6th, 2016. We shot, wrote and edited the show in two weeks. It was one of the most rewarding projects that I have had the privilege of working on.

Wrote, produced and directed this show previewing the light heavyweight battle between Phil Davis and King Mo. Originally an hour special, we had to crash edit this show into a half hour when the card lost its co-main event.

Bellator MMA signed Benson Henderson during the first week of February, less then two weeks later, this special that I wrote and produced for Spike and Bellator MMA premiered. Unrivaled: Ben Henderson aired on February 19th after the Bellator MMA tentpole featuring Kimbo Slice and Royce Gracie.
