BAD MMA News — Thu, 18 Sep 2014 14:41:35 +0000

“ Goiti Yamaunchi vs. Martin Stapleton” may not sound like it’s some kind of Bellator title eliminator or anything like that. But the way Yamauchi is thinking about the fight, it might as well be. The Japanese featherweight is thinking about his championship aspirations, and he believes it all starts with Stapleton. Yamaunchi (17-2 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) and Stapleton (13-3 MMA, 1-2 BMMA) meet at Friday’s Bellator 125, which takes place at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif.

Bellator 125′s Doug Marshall: ‘I’m a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off’

BAD MMA News — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 13:20:18 +0000

There have been plenty of opinions about Bellator MMA’s regime change, with Bjorn Rebney sent packing and former Strikeforce head Scott Coker taking over as president. Along with that change came a new mentality for the promotion, which will move away from its tournament format to focus instead on big fights, and more traditional title shots. And that’s where Doug Marshall believes the tide will swing in his favor. Marshall (18-7 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) on Friday meets fellow gunslinger Melvin Manhoef (28-11-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in the main event of Bellator 125, which takes place at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif. The main card airs on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com
