Get to know Mauricio Alonso ahead of his Bellator 229 bout against Johnny Eblen

BAD MMA News — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 12:56:00 +0000

Fight fans haven’t seen Mauricio Alonso compete inside the Bellator cage since he finished “The Ultimate Fighter 1” veteran Josh Koscheck via punches at Bellator 172 in February 2017. Not known as a finisher, Alonso’s TKO over Koscheck was his first since 2014. The win was also his first in Bellator. Thirty-one months later, Alonso (13-7 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) will return to Bellator when he takes on surging prospect Johnny Eblen (5-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) on the Bellator 229 prelims. Bellator 229 takes place Friday at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif.

Then Matt Mitrione went to the hospital with a kidney stone hours before he was supposed to face Fedor Emelianenko in the main event of Bellator 172 in San Jose, Calif., and suddenly you had your answer. How big of a shadow did the canceled headliner have on this event? After winning the first fight on the televised main card, Mauricio Alonso spoke about how honored he was to fight on the same card as Emelianenko
