On back nine of career, Sam Sicilia ready to prove his worth in Bellator

Gallery Sam Sicilia vs. Derek Campos at Bellator 212: Best photos view 6 images HONOLULU – During his 12 fights in the UFC, Sam Sicilia racked up some frequent-flier miles. While there, he fought in Brazil twice, Japan, Sweden, South Korea and a spot so far east in Canada it might as well have been on another continent. And not that he’s making excuses for a 5-7 run with the promotion, or the three-fight skid that sent him to Bellator, but he thinks the MMA world might have been judging him a little harshly when the chips were down. “Everyone was like, ‘You need to win.’ I keep seeing (expletive) pop up on social media about how I’ve been – one win, four losses my last five fights,” Sicilia said. (Expletive), three of those were being sent all over the planet for the UFC.

The third installment of Bellator’s World Grand Prix goes down Saturday as the main event for Bellator 198 features a battle between heavyweight legends Fedor Emelianenko and Frank Mir .

Sam Sicilia wants to smell blood at Bellator 198, become first to finish Sanchez

BAD MMA News — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 15:34:34 +0000

ROSEMONT, Ill. – The bulk of Sam Sicilia ’s 12-fight run in the UFC was spent fighting opponents in their proverbial backyards. Saturday, he pretty much has to do it again in his second fight for Bellator. So to say Sicilia (16-8 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) is used to something like fighting Milwaukee-based Emmanuel Sanchez (16-3 MMA, 8-2 BMMA) just 80 miles from his home base is an understatement. The two fight in the featherweight co-main event of Bellator 198 at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., near Chicago
