BAD MMA News — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 15:44:06 +0000

Javier Torres has had a rough go to kick off his Bellator tenure, losing both of his fights. First Torres was submitted by Neiman Gracie in his debut in April at Bellator 198. In his most recent bout, earlier this month at Bellator 207, Torres (10-5 MMA, 0-2 BMMA) dropped a tough majority decision to Andre Fialho. As if losing wasn’t bad enough, Torress was the victim of a couple of eye pokes. According to a tweet , this is what his eye looked like one week later: How my eye look one week after my fight, Eye pokes they aren’t a joke they need to do something about it @JohnMcCarthyMMA @arielhelwani @MMAjunkie @BellatorMMA pic.twitter.com/NIGw6UapL1 — Javier Torres (@JavierTorresMMA) October 23, 2018 via GIPHY Hopefully that’s healed properly.

CHICAGO – As you probably know by now, Neiman Gracie ’s family is kind of a big deal. Being a Gracie comes with a few things in the MMA world. It comes with attention, for sure.

Neiman Gracie wants another submission win at Bellator 198 and, frankly, why wouldn’t he?

BAD MMA News — Wed, 18 Apr 2018 20:54:55 +0000

Neiman Gracie is very pleased with how his MMA career is progressing, and you can kind of see why. Set to meet Javier Torres (10-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) at Bellator 198 on April 28, Gracie (7-0 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) has yet to lose in seven pro MMA bouts. Only one of those, against Roger Carroll at Bellator 151, needed the judges’ assistance; the other six were submissions. That’s not exactly a surprising stat coming from the great-grandson of Carlos Gracie. But predictable outcomes don’t really seem to be a problem for Gracie, who’d made it clear before that he’s not out to reinvent the wheel with his showings. Related Four fights added to Bellator 200 in London, including debut of 'TUF 22' vet Saul Rogers “I’m super happy with my career,” Gracie told MMAjunkie.
