Patchy Mix doesn’t want to let James Gallagher off the hook. Mix (14-1 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) was originally scheduled to face Gallagher at Bellator 258 this past Friday, but Gallagher withdrew due to a shoulder injury. Mix fought ex-UFC bantamweight Albert Morales instead and submitted him in the third round. Gallagher (11-1 MMA, 8-1 BMMA) was there to corner teammate Peter Queally in his upset win over Patricky Freire and made sure to make his presence felt

Video: Can Sergio Pettis surpass brother Anthony’s career achievements?

BAD MMA News — Thu, 13 May 2021 15:24:42 +0000

After years of living in his older brother’s shadow, Sergio Pettis is not forging his own path as an MMA champion after winning the Bellator bantamweight title. Sergio defeated Juan Archuleta by unanimous decision in the main event of Bellator 258 this past Friday in Uncasville, Conn., and his elder sibling, Anthony Pettis, was right there in his corner to cheer him on. Anthony is a former UFC and WEC champion, and has established quite a legacy for himself in the sport. Sergio spent many of those years trying to find his own identity, and perhaps on track to become the face of the Pettis fighting family. At just 27, though, can Sergio eventually build a legacy that will outshine his brother in MMA lore? And what would it take to do so

Johnny Campbell yet another who wants James Gallagher after big Bellator 258 upset of Henry Corrales

BAD MMA News — Wed, 12 May 2021 15:17:33 +0000

UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Johnny Campbell was the biggest underdog on the card at Bellator 258 and made the oddsmakers look like they may have missed a thing or two. A 34-year-old journeyman who has been bouncing around the regional circuit for more than 10 years, Campbell (21-13 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) stunned Henry Corrales (18-6 MMA, 6-6 BMMA) with a second-round rear-naked choke in his Bellator debut. Corrales was nearly a -1400 favorite at one online sports book, and no books gave Campbell better than +475 odds in the fight.
