Filed under: Bellator , Featured Videos , News , Videos After a loss in a title eliminator against Phil Davis earlier this year, Muhammed Lawal needed to get back in the win column in a big way.

Bellator 169 results: ‘King Mo’ Lawal dominates Satoshi Ishii for decision win

BAD MMA News — Sat, 17 Dec 2016 05:13:12 +0000

Satoshi Ishii tasted the power of Muhammed Lawal early in the heavyweight main event of Bellator 169 and he did not seem to like it. Bellator 169 took place at 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. It aired on tape-delay on Spike to accomodate local time. Lawal (20-5 MMA, 12-4 BMMA) continued to pick and paw with strikes, keeping Ishii (14-7-1 MMA, 0-2 BMMA) from getting into range and utilizing his judo throughout Round 1. By the end of the opening frame, Ishii was stuck feebly staring at Lawal while the American posed in the middle of the cage with his hands on his hips.

‘King Mo’ Lawal thinks victory in Bellator 169 headliner sets up rematch with champ Phil Davis

BAD MMA News — Wed, 14 Dec 2016 15:06:23 +0000

Filed under: Bellator , News , Videos Muhammed Lawal still thinks it’s silly that he’s the one who needs to pursue a rematch with Phil Davis when he believes the decision in their fight earlier this year should have gone his way. However, Lawal (19-5 MMA, 8-4 BMMA) said a victory over Satoshi Ishii (14-6-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) in Friday’s Bellator 169 headliner should move him one step close to a second fight against the current Bellator light heavyweight champion Davis (17-3 MMA, 4-0 BMMA). “If I look impressive, which I think I will, then I think that does help the argument to getting the rematch,” Lawal recently told MMAjunkie Radio. “Even though, let’s be real, there shouldn’t be a rematch because I beat him the first time

Video: Bellator 169 co-headliners James Gallagher and Anthony Taylor had a bizarre confrontation

BAD MMA News — Wed, 14 Dec 2016 01:48:33 +0000

Filed under: Bellator , Featured Videos , News , Videos Friday’s Bellator 169 co-headliners had the quite the confrontation today at the event’s official media day. Ahead of the event, which takes place at 3Arena in Dublin and airs on Spike via same-day tape delay, the card’s fighters, including co-headliners and featherweights James Gallagher (4-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) and Anthony Taylor (1-1 MMA, 1-1 BMMA), gathered at SBG Ireland. In the video (posted by Bellator officials, no less), we can see Gallagher walk up and shove Taylor. It’s about as awkward a confrontation as you’ll find, and it doesn’t necessarily feel all that genuine. There were a lot of shoves, yelling and “wassups,” but it got the cameras clicking (via Instagram ): Here’s the full clip (via SevereMMA.com ): Even before today’s confrontation, Gallagher didn’t seem all that impressed with his opponent

Vargas injury scraps Bellator 169 fight with Harper, Elina Kallionidou-Sinead Kavanagh added

BAD MMA News — Mon, 12 Dec 2016 19:45:01 +0000

The lineup for this week’s Bellator 169 card, which is the promotion’s debut in Ireland, has undergone a late change. Bruna Vargas (2-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) has been forced out of her fight against Helen Harper (4-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) with an injury, which takes that bout off the main card in Dublin, the promotion today announced. Harper will be paid her show money, the promotion said. In its place, a new women’s featherweight bout is set for the main card. Sinead Kavanagh (3-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) will take on Elina Kallionidou (5-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) at the event.
