This weekend was caulk full of MMA, offering up multiple high-profile events taking place on both Friday and Saturday. The UFC, Bellator, ONE FC and Invicta FC all held event this weekend, but so did UCMMA, CES MMA and Superior Challenge.
Some things just aren’t meant to be and last night’s Bellator 75 main event was proof of that. The third time was not the charm for Bellator and the Eric Prindle versus Thiago Santos heavyweight bout as their bizarre trilogy has hopefully come to an end.
Bellator fighter Rich “Rare Breed” Hale (19-4-1, 4-1 Bellator) normally fights at light heavyweight, but at tomorrow’s Bellator 75 he will step up and fight in the season seven Bellator heavyweight tournament. Hale will face former TUF: The Heavies competitor Mike Wessel in the opening round and as he readies for today’s weigh-in today, Rich took some time to have a six-pack on ICE.
A day after the current Bellator heavyweight champion Cole Konrad surprisingly announced his retirement from the sport; the promotion introduced the finalized field for their season 7 heavyweight tournament.
Saturday’s Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman event saw Ronda Rousey make her first title defense of her 135 lbs. belt with yet another armbar submission. Now 6-0 in her professional MMA career with all her wins via first round armbar submission you can understand why today’s links center around the Olympic bronze medalist.
