BAD MMA News — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 01:02:31 +0000

CHICAGO – Roman Faraldo acknowledges that Levan Chokheli is a step up in competition but expects to have no issues. Faraldo (8-0 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) meets Chokheli (10-2 MMA, 1-2 BMMA) in Friday’s Bellator 288 main card opener at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. The main card airs on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie. The unbeaten knockout artist has produced some viral moments throughout his career, and training at famed American Top Team gives him confidence that he will deliver once again. “I think the experts still got it wrong saying that the odds are even,” Faraldo told reporters at Wednesday’s media day. “I think I’m way better than this guy in every facet of the game, and that confidence comes from my training partners and who I’m working with consistently and how I feel and what I’m doing and what I’m capable of.” Although Faraldo’s early finishes wind up on highlight reels , he knows he still has some work to do.
