The sixth season for Bellator is just starting but fans have already been reminded of what the underestimated MMA promotion brings to the table each and every week. Aside from the obvious tournament aspect that draws fans into the drama that unfolds over three separate events, Bellator more often than not delivers crowd pleasing Finishes.
Last Friday, Bellator returned to action with the event being headlined by defending featherweight champion Joe Warren versus tournament winner Pat Curran. The fight ended in the 3rd round when Curran put Warren away with a vicious flurry to get the knockout.
The main event of last night’s Bellator 60 was a long-awaited featherweight title fight between Joe Warren and Pat Curran. The bout capped off the first event of Bellator’s sixth season, which also featured the opening round of a brand new featherweight tournament. The main card was all about the featherweights, showcasing arguably the promotions best division.
The main card of tonight’s Bellator 60 in Hammond, Indiana at The Venue inside The Horseshoe Casino brings you night of featherweight action as current Bellator featherweight king Joe Warren defends his title against Pat Curran. The night will also feature the first round in the featherweight tournament to determine who will get the next title shot against the winner of the main event.
With the season four featherweight tournament winner Patricio “Pitbull” Freire recovering from his second surgery on his hand , Bellator has decided to make a switch. The Bellator featherweight champion, Joe Warren (7-2) will now face the summer series featherweight tournament winner Pat Curran early in 2012.
When you live on the edge there always comes a time when your luck runs out. So was the case last weekend at Bellator 55 when after 13 rolls of chance, the promotion finally hit snake eyes when the light heavyweight champion Christian M’Pumbu lost to Travis Wiuff in a non-title bout.
The luck has finally run out for “The Baddest man on the planet,” Joe Warren at Bellator 51. The current featherweight champion entered the bantamweight tournament in hopes to become a multiple Bellator title holder. Those dreams went dark just one minute into fight as his opponent Alexis Vila turned his lights out with a left hand.
Remember back when you were a kid and is it got closer to Christmas time and the anticipation would build up for the most awesome time of year? Get ready to feel that way again, starting this weekend as MMA is swinging into full tilt season of promising fights and championship bouts that will have fans eagerly watching and cheering until 2012.
