Entering his bout this past April with Nianoa Dung at Bellator 279, Lance Gibson Jr. had built quite a start for himself during his career with four wins in a row, and was looking to add to that success. Following a bit of a rough start, Gibson was able to get things rolling his way and picked up the unanimous decision victory for his fifth win in a row. “As a fighter it’s not that fun getting hit, but it’s important that you can bounce back, stay calm in the storm, go right back to the fire and put it on your opponent,” Gibson told MMAWeekly.com. “That’s what I showed. “I can move forward with a wealth of knowledge and a good base for my next generation of what I’m going to be doing in my performances.” This past year, Gibson has spent time working on his ground game, making it so he can place less dependence on his stand-up to help secure finishes in his fights.
