Bellator 106 took place on November 2, 2013 at Convention and Entertainment Center in Long Beach, California. The event aired live on Spike TV.

Background

Bellator 106 was to be Bellator's first ever pay-per-view event and was expected to be headlined by a Light Heavyweight bout between Tito Ortiz and Quinton Jackson, both of whom would have been making their promotional debuts.{{cite web|last=Erickson |first=Matt |url=http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/07/tito-ortiz-signs-with-bellator-meets-rampage-jackson-on-pay-per-view-nov-2 |title=Tito Ortiz signs with Bellator, meets 'Rampage' Jackson on pay-per-view Nov. 2 |website=MMAjunkie.com |date=2013-08-01 |access-date=2015-12-22}} However, on October 25, it was announced that Ortiz was out of the bout due to injury. Subsequently, Bellator announced that the show would air on Spike TV rather that PPV.{{cite web|url=http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/10/tito-ortiz-out-with-neck-fracture-bellator-106-moves-from-ppv-to-spike-tv |title=Tito Ortiz out with neck fracture, Bellator 106 moves from PPV to Spike TV |publisher=Mmajunkie.com |access-date=2013-10-25 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131026160433/http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/10/tito-ortiz-out-with-neck-fracture-bellator-106-moves-from-ppv-to-spike-tv |archive-date=2013-10-26 }}
