Gallery Photos: Bellator 218 ceremonial weigh-ins THACKERVILLE, Okla. – Johnny Eblen has plenty of history to look back on if he wants some motivation early in his MMA career. Eblen wrestled collegiately at the University of Missouri. That’s the same school that produced Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler, former welterweight champ Ben Askren (who also was a titleholder for ONE Championship), and former 170-pound UFC champ Tyron Woodley. Just four wins into his pro career, Eblen got a little help from Bellator’s Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal to get hooked up with the promotion, and Friday he’ll make his debut
