Go behind the scenes of this past Friday’s Bellator 130 event to hear from Lashley, as well as Dave Jansen, Marloes Coenen and light heavyweight champion Emanuel Newton. Newton had to survive a rough opening two rounds to battle back to defend his belt against Linton Vassell. Coenen had a successful Bellator debut, but needed to see the third round against Annalisa Bucci. And Jansen kicked Rick Hawn so many times he need some big-time treatment on his own legs after his decision win. Check out what Bellator’s cameras caught from the winners in the video above

Newton (24-8-1 MMA, 8-1 BMMA), who’s emerged as one of the organization’s biggest names and longest-reigning champions, had his hands full with challenger Linton Vassell  (14-4 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) on Friday at Bellator 131. The event, which aired on Spike TV from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kan., ultimately saw Newton, who’s ranked No. 11 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light heavyweight rankings , rally from near-disaster
