Sidney Outlaw credits camp switch for new mentality at Bellator 298: ‘I’m not the best. I’m a beast’

BAD MMA News — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 20:34:08 +0000

A little more than a year after a devastating knockout loss, Sidney Outlaw picked up a crucial win this past Friday. Outlaw (17-5 MMA, 5-2 BMMA) outworked Islam Mamedov (22-3-1 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) for a unanimous decision to open the main card at Bellator 298 in Sioux Falls, S.D. It was his first win since a June 2021 submission of Myles Jury. Outlaw was set to fight then-lightweight champion Patricky Freire for the title in July 2022, but Freire was forced out of the fight. Outlaw instead fought Tofiq Musayev in a co-feature – and was knocked out in 27 seconds.

After Bellator 298, Logan Storley doesn’t see many other options but a trilogy with Yaroslav Amosov

BAD MMA News — Sun, 13 Aug 2023 16:24:30 +0000

It had been nearly five years since Logan Storley put away someone with his hands, so to do it again in front of a friendly crowd no doubt was exhilarating. Storley (15-2 MMA, 10-2 BMMA) this past Friday took out gritty slugger Brennan Ward (17-7 MMA, 12-7 BMMA) with a second-round TKO in the Bellator 298 main event. The fight took place in Sioux Falls, S.D., a little more than two hours from the town where Storley grew up and won six state wrestling titles.

Bellator 298 results: Logan Storley mauls Brennan Ward for hometown second-round TKO

BAD MMA News — Sat, 12 Aug 2023 05:28:13 +0000

Logan Storley is on the path toward another shot at the Bellator welterweight title, and his performance at Bellator 298 was an impressive first step. In the main event at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D., Storley (15-2 MMA, 10-2 BMMA) entered the Bellator cage in his home state looking to rebound from a title unification loss to Yaroslav Amosov in February. Standing in his way was a dangerous striker in Brennan Ward (17-7 MMA, 12-7 BMMA), but Storley was able to get the fight to his world on the ground to record a TKO stoppage at 4:05 in Round 2. The left jab was an issue early for Storley, and Ward used it often. The takedown defense initially held well for Ward too, but Storley’s patience paid off with a nice shot and scramble to take top position midway through Round 1. Storley would keep Ward pinned to the canvas for the remainder of the frame
