Do you have Bellator fever? Then the only prescription is “The Dose.” Jay Glazer and Robin Black have teamed up for the promotion’s latest video franchise, with the duo shooting the Bellator breeze as they look back at some of the biggest performances from recent events and look ahead to the big-time matchups to come. In the first episode of “The Dose,” Glazer and Black preview the Bellator 239 main event in Oklahoma, as former collegiate wrestling standout Ed Ruth (8-1 MMA, 8-1 BMMA) faces off against Ukraine’s undefeated Yaroslav Amosov (22-0 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) in a pivotal welterweight bout, while also highlighting the co-main event between Myles Jury (18-5 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) and Brandon Girtz (16-8 MMA, 8-6 BMMA). The duo also take look back at flyweight champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (11-0 MMA, 10-0 BMMA), who enjoyed a memorable win – and a memorable walkout – at Bellator 236, and the throwback fight between former PRIDE FC legends Fedor Emelianenko (39-6 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) and Quinton Jackson (38-13 MMA, 5-3 BMMA) at Bellator 237.

Bellator 237 full fight: Watch Fedor Emelianenko one-punch KO ‘Rampage’ Jackson

BAD MMA News — Fri, 03 Jan 2020 14:57:16 +0000

Last week, Bellator turned back the clock by bringing two MMA legends back to the country in which they first became stars. In the Bellator 237 main event, PRIDE veterans Fedor Emelianenko and Quinton Jackson stepped into the cage in front of the Japanese fans. After a brief feeling-out process, Emelianenko (39-6 MMA, 3-2 BMMA), the former PRIDE heavyweight champion, began to look more comfortable in the attack. Before Jackson (38-14 MMA, 5-3 BMMA) could muster up any sort of offense, Emelianenko connected with a right cross. The shot glanced off of the left side of Jackson’s forehead, right above his eye. Not only did the cross slice “Rampage” open, it sent the former UFC light heavyweight champ toppling to the ground

‘Rampage’ Jackson to document weight-loss journey, vows Bellator 237 was ‘last time I defeat myself’

BAD MMA News — Tue, 31 Dec 2019 17:33:34 +0000

Quinton Jackson is looking to make a major transformation. Jackson (38-14 MMA, 5-3 BMMA) came in at a career-high 265 pounds this past weekend for his Bellator 237 fight against Fedor Emelianenko. “Rampage” was heavily criticized for looking slow and out of shape, and ultimately paid the price for it as he suffered a first-round TKO loss , the first time he was stopped with strikes since 2005. Afterward, Jackson owned up to being overweight and said he “felt like a hippopotamus” during the fight.
