But, after a big Bellator 182 win, the flyweight is in no rush to reach them. Ellen (4-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) edged out Veta Arteaga (3-2 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) in a close contest that ended in a split call this past Friday at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y. The win means Ellen is now two fights removed from an unsuccessful promotional debut, and off to a solid start in her still-blooming pro career

And while his third-round guillotine choke submission of Brennan Ward (14-6 MMA, 9-6 BMMA) might normally have him asking for a welterweight title shot, Gonzalez (27-14 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) knows he might have to pump the brakes on that just a little thanks to a continued issue with the scale.
