Bellator Fighting Championships is considered to be the
second largest MMA promotion in America behind the UFC. The company was first
established back in 2008 and has been growing in popularity ever since. Bellator
is about to host their 70th event, and it is sure to be a stellar
event for fight fans looking to see some brutal heavyweight action. The main
title fight of the night will be between Cole Konrad, who is the current
heavyweight champion and who is undefeated in Bellator going up against the
previous tournament winner, Eric Prindle, who has three consecutive victories
under his belt in the Bellator promotion.
One of the reasons fight fans enjoy Bellator so much is
because it has a unique platform that is different from many other MMA
promotions. Bellator uses a tournament style structure. The tournament lasts
for a season, and whoever wins the tournament receives a hefty paycheck as well
as a title shot at the current reigning Bellator champion. This truly makes the
athletes participating in the events feel like they have earned their shot at
the championship.
Along with having a phenomenal heavyweight title matchup,
the middleweight tournament will come to a close and a new contender will
emerge to take a shot at the coveted Bellator title. Another big fight that is
going to happen at this event is a bout featuring Rich Clementi. Clementi was
formerly a part of the UFC and has a record of 42 wins and 21 losses. The
opponent that Clementi will be fighting is to be announced at a later time.
The middleweight finals feature some great fights as well
as including one with Brian Rogers going head to head with Burno Santos. Fans
will also get to see a great fight with Maiquel Falcao and Vyacheslav
Vasilevsky.
The main fight of the night is the result of two fights
between current contender Prindle and fighter Thiago Santos, who were dropped
from their respective cards. This pair first traded punches at the Bellator 59
event. There was much controversy surrounding the fight, as Santos kicked
Prindle in the groin and Prindle was unable to continue fighting. The next bout
was scrapped off the card because Santos was not able to make weight for the
weigh-ins, which officially declared Prindle the victor, who would take on
Konrad for heavyweight title shot.
The evening promises to be action-packed and provide
fight fans with plenty of quality fight entertainment.
