HONOLULU – Grant Neal wants to avenge the lone loss of his professional MMA career after getting his hand raised at Bellator 278. Neal (7-1 MMA, 6-1 BMMA) rebounded from a split decision loss to Alex Polizzi last September by defeating Christian Edwards Friday at Neal S. Blaisdell Center. With Polizzi currently ranked ahead of him in the light heavyweight standings, Neal is certainly interested in a rematch and would make sure the fight doesn’t go to the judges’ scorecards. “Definitely,” Neal told MMA Junkie and other reporters at the Bellator 278 post-fight press conference. “He was a great competitor, he’s had great fights

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Alex Polizzi ’s game plan won’t change heading into Bellator 266. Polizzi (8-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) meets Grant Neal in the featured prelim Saturday, and he’ll look to bounce the prospect out of the ranks of the unbeaten.
