Timothy Johnson eyes Bellator heavyweight title shot: ‘I think I’ve done enough to earn it’

BAD MMA News — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 21:24:13 +0000

After notching his third straight win, Timothy Johnson wants a shot at the Bellator heavyweight title. Johnson (15-6 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) avenged his loss to Cheick Kongo in the main event of Bellator Europe 10 on Saturday, edging out the hometown fighter by split decision at Accor Arena in Paris, France. Johnson prevailed as an underdog once again and thinks his upset wins over the formerly unbeaten Tyrell Fortune and UFC veterans Matt Mitrione and Kong are enough to warrant a title shot against heavyweight champion Ryan Bader (27-6 MMA, 5-1 BMMA). Speaking to reporters after his win in France, Johnson explained that, while he’s targeting a return in early 2021, he’d be willing to answer the call for a title shot at any time.

Bellator Europe 10 video: Check out Yves Landu’s wild KO knee — and wilder dance moves

BAD MMA News — Sat, 10 Oct 2020 20:45:59 +0000

Yves Landu ’s nickname is “You Know,” and as The Notorious B.I.G. once said, “If you don’t know, now you know.” The Paris native couldn’t have picked a better spot to make waves, as he made his Bellator debut on Saturday night during the company’s first-ever event in his hometown. Livening up what at times had been a less-than-thrilling undercard, Landu (15-8 MMA. 1-0 BMMA) landed an absolute bull’s-eye of a flying knee to the forehead of Terry Brazier (11-3 MMA, 1-3 BMMA), ending their lightweight fight at the 2:18 mark of the opening round.

Johnson (14-6 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) will take on French contender Cheick Kongo (30-10-2 MMA, 12-2 BMMA) in the main event of Bellator Europe 10, where he will look to even the score with the man who finished him with strikes in just 68 seconds at Bellator 208 back in October 2018.
