After four years, Bellator MMA’s first welterweight champion, Lyman Good , is leaving the promotion as a free agent. Good’s legal rep, David M. Fish, announced the departure today. “The entire team at Bellator has been really good to me throughout my career and now they’ve given me the green light to go and fight anywhere I want,” Good (15-3 MMA, 8-3 BFC) stated in a press release forwarded to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). The 28-year-old Good was one of Bellator’s first stars in the promotion’s first events in 2009. He won the Season 1 welterweight tournament and inaugural welterweight title after three straight finishes. His title reign would be cut short by Season 2 tourney winner Ben Askren , who handed him a decision loss in his first defense and remains champion.
