Coming off their biggest show of all time last week, Bellator will try to keep the ball rolling at tomorrow’s Bellator 107. Being sandwiched in between two UFC Fight Night cards has left the card slightly forgotten but with three tournament finals anchoring things, Bellator 107 should not be overlooked.
Bellator has been on fire the last several weeks, and the Lightweight tournament beginning at Friday’s Bellator 101 should be no exception. Several grizzled veterans and rising young lions will face off in the greatest test of staying power and upward mobility respectively, making for outstanding matches in the opening round.
Bellator is back in the regular swing of things with a strong Bellator 98 card to kick it all off. Our main event puts the Middleweight championship up for grabs, as Bellator original Alexander Shlemenko looks to keep the strap, facing replacement battler Brett Cooper.
Following the start of the Bellator MMA summer series tonight, the promotion unveiled their reality show Fight Master: Bellator MMA.
With more tournaments closing out and others just beginning, the Bellator cycle is alive and well. With former champion Joe Warren looking to get back in the fold and the Featherweight and Heavyweight tournaments having their final bouts set, let’s dig into this busy night of fisticuffs.
Former Bellator featherweight champion Joe Warren returns to action tonight in the Bellator 80 main event after losing his belt eight months ago to Pat Curran. Following back to back brutal knockouts, the once self-proclaimed “Baddest man on the Planet” is in desperate need of getting back to the form that saw him knockout Joe Soto at Bellator 27 to win the featherweight championship.
Pat Curran is a pocket-sized rock’em sock’em robot. The Bellator 145 pound kingpin earned his title by destroying Joe Warren at Bellator 60. Patricio “Pitbull” Freire is 17-1 and his lone loss was a disputed split decision loss to former champion Joe Warren. When these two combustible agents meet on August 24th, an MMA explosion is the sure fire result.
The long break between UFC events is nearly over and the lull of March will soon return to jam-packed MMA action. Even with the long break, the month was carried primarily by Bellator who delivered some great outcomes.
