“I know I’m going to beat the shit out of Pitbull, so I know for a fact I’m going to see Straus for a fourth time,” Curran boldly stated. “I’m not worried about ‘Pitbull.’ I know he’s a dangerous fighter, but I beat him before and I’m going to beat him even worse this time around. I’m going to completely outclass him this time and I’m a dangerous fighter and a completely different fighter this time around and he is going to see that, you guys are going to see that. By the end of it, he is going to wish he never stepped in the cage with me.” In a recent interview with Bloodyelbow.com, Bellator featherweight champion Pat Curran, dishes on his next opponent, Bellator tournament winner Pitbull Freiri.

When bad reffing strikes, the fighters always pay the price. And this time Bellator Heavyweight fighter Frederick Brown definitely paid the price when the ref stopped the fight 10-15 seconds late… debatably. He was knocked out by Daniel Gallemore in the first round, at 1 minute 32 seconds during tonight’s Bellator 113 event.

“I just see Bellator definitely surpassing UFC. It’s already happening. [The UFC] is not very personable with the fighters. They don’t really have the fans understanding what the fighters went through, understanding their camps. I think Bellator does that very well. They really follow the fighters, so it makes the fans fall in love more — kinda like the WWE, the soap opera storyline, but this is not fake. Fighters aren’t coming out of the woodwork from nowhere, and all of a sudden being spectacular fighters. You watch Bellator shows and you know there’s always finishes. You watch UFC and sometimes it’s just boring. Granted, the UFC can put on a lot of good fights too, but I’d much rather watch Bellator than UFC.” Bellator’s interim light-heavyweight champion, Emanuel Newton, is doing his best at playing company man when comparing his employer to, MMA’s leading promotion, the UFC.

Who doesn’t love a good rubber match? Each fighter has a win over the other, both are high level fighters, the belt is on the line (again) and it’s on Pay-Per-View. Of course I’m talking about the third and most likely final fight between Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez and Michael Chandler.

“I knew I was never going to fight [Lawal] in any of the other organizations I was with, because I knew he wasn’t going to come. I think I can be 100-percent honest with you when I say that half the reason I signed with Bellator was because I was signing with Viacom — not just an MMA organization, but a whole big company — and that I could finally get a chance to beat the s–t out of ‘King Mo’ for all the stuff he said. But I forgive him.” In a recent interview with sherdog.com, former UFC light-heavyeight champ, ‘Rampage’ Jackson, explained his reasoning behind leaving the UFC for Bellator.
