A pair of recent Bellator winners used their performances to score contracts with the promotion. Bellator officials today informed MMAjunkie that both Kent Kaupinnen (11-4 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) and Domingos Barros (6-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) have signed multi-fight deals with the California-based organization. Both were on one-fight deals at Bellator 211, which took place in Italy earlier this month. However, after each picked up first-round finishes, Kaupinnen and Barros each earned a longer look from the company. England’s Kauppinen also fought for Bellator earlier this year, suffering a submission loss to Walter Gahadza at Bellator 200. However, he returned at Bellator 211 in a headlining slot against local favorite Alessio Sakara.
