‘The Alpha Ginger’ Spike Carlyle pulls off improbable comeback at Bellator 272

BAD MMA News — Sat, 04 Dec 2021 01:33:32 +0000

Spike Carlyle made quite the first impression in his Bellator debut Friday. On the Bellator 272 prelims, Carlyle (13-3 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) took on fellow UFC alumnus Dan Moret and pulled off an improbable comeback. Carlyle rallied from the brink of defeat on multiple occasions to technically submit Moret (15-7 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) with a rear-naked choke at 2:58 mark of Round 3 in a grueling battle. Both fighters landed shot after shot through the first two rounds, but Carlyle absorbed the brunt of the damage. Entering Round 3, Carlyle was down 20-18 on all three judges’ scorecards. However, he dug deep, reversed a late takedown from Moret, ended up on his opponent’s back, and put him to sleep with a rear-naked choke – much to the delight of the Mohegan Sun crowd.

Spike Carlyle fills in on short notice to fight Dan Moret at Bellator 272

BAD MMA News — Sat, 27 Nov 2021 00:50:32 +0000

“The Alpha Ginger” is back on the big stage. Three-fight UFC veteran Spike Carlyle is filling in for Ricardo Seixas and has accepted a short-notice 160-pound contract weight fight against Dan Moret next Friday at Bellator 272 from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., according to promotion officials. The reason for Seixas’ withdrawal is unclear. Carlyle, 28, was 8-1 when he made his UFC debut on February 29, 2020, winning by first-round TKO over Aalon Cruz. Carlyle’s next two UFC fights that year were unanimous decision losses to Billy Quarantillo and Bill Algeo. Since departing the UFC, Carlyle (12-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) has won three consecutive fights – two submissions and a knockout
