MMA fans know him as Cris Williams, but from here on out the Bellator featherweight will go by the name Cris Lencioni after legally changing it. Lencioni (4-1 MMA, 1-1 BMMA), who fights Tywan Claxton at Bellator 204 this month, has many negative feelings about his previous surname. It was forced upon him as a child when his mother remarried, and the actions of his stepfather as he grew up made it more and more difficult to be associated with the Williams name
