BAD MMA News — Wed, 29 May 2019 13:13:46 +0000

Chael Sonnen has a big fight coming up with Lyoto Machida at New York’s Madison Square Garden. But Bellator 222’s co-feature fight won’t mark the first time “The Bad Guy” has found himself under the bright lights of the venue which calls itself “the World’s Most Famous Arena.” After years of false starts, hints, and teases, Sonnen finally get into the cage with longtime rival Wanderlei Silva at Bellator 180. It was a good night for Sonnen, as he scored a decisive victory over the former PRIDE champion back in 2017 at MSG. Sonnen won via unanimous decision in the evening’s main event, earning scores of 30-26, 30-27, and 30-27, as he got his hand raised for the first time since a 2013 victory over Mauricio Rua.

Linton Vassell feels disrespected over apparent Bellator title snub: ‘They’re not being consistent’

BAD MMA News — Wed, 28 Jun 2017 20:15:02 +0000

Filed under: Bellator , Featured , News Linton Vassell is not pleased with the apparent direction of the Bellator light heavyweight division after Ryan Bader claimed gold in the weight class at Bellator 180 this past weekend. Vassell (18-5 MMA, 7-2 BMMA) believes he is the No. 1 contender to the belt, which Bader (23-5 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) took from Phil Davis by split decision at Bellator 180 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. He said his Bellator 179 win against Liam McGeary (see highlights from that fight in the video above) in May was promoted as a fight that would determine the next title challenger, but since then the organization has changed its tune.
