Bellator 240 results: Brent Primus grabs first-round finish in Dublin

BAD MMA News — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 16:22:46 +0000

Former Bellator lightweight champion Brent Primus was handed a late-notice change of assignment at Bellator 240, but he produced a professional performance to finish Chris Bungard and reassert his championship credentials at the 3Arena, Dublin. Scotland’s Bungard (15-6 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) stepped in at just over three weeks’ notice to face Primus (10-1 MMA, 8-1 BMMA) and looked to catch the former champion cold as he stuffed an early takedown attempt and hammered Primus with a succession of elbows to the head before jumping on a guillotine choke attempt. Primus managed to extricate himself from the hold before turning the tables on the Scot. He moved to Bungard’s back and attempted to lock up a rear-naked choke

Chris Bungard sizes up Brent Primus, plans to ‘shock the world’ on short notice at Bellator 240

BAD MMA News — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 23:56:37 +0000

Scottish lightweight Chris Bungard has played the role of spoiler before, and he’s more than happy to step in on short notice and do it again in the main event of Bellator 240 in Dublin. Bungard (15-5 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) will step in on just two weeks’ notice to face former lightweight champion Brent Primus at 3Arena on Saturday, and he said he’s ready to spring another shock inside the cage. Bungard’s promotional debut saw him halt the momentum of England’s former two-division BAMMA champion Terry Brazier as he upset the form book and finished the Englishman via rear-naked choke in just 126 seconds at Bellator Europe 1 in February 2019. Now the 31-year-old says he’s looking to do the same again against an even more highly regarded opponent

Bellator announces signings of 10 more from Europe, including viral KO slammer Galore Bofando

BAD MMA News — Fri, 24 Aug 2018 13:45:53 +0000

Bellator continues to bolster its roster with the addition of 10 more signings from Europe. The roster moves come a little more than three weeks after the announcement of two dozen other signings. Among the signings is UFC veteran Galore Bafondo , who made waves 13 months ago with a violent slam knockout of Charlie Ward at UFC Fight Night 113 in his UFC debut. But he was let go after a loss this past December to Chad Laprise. “Growing the Bellator organization throughout the U.K. and Ireland has been a top priority for us for quite some time,” said Bellator President Scott Coker stated earlier this summer when the promotion added 24 British and Irish fighters.
