The underrated fights to watch at Bellator 214 in Inglewood, California
Last week we saw reigning UFC bantamweight champion, TJ Dillashaw, fail in his attempt to become a Champ Champ, a title only four fighters previously have been able to do. This weekend, another man will attempt to add that name to his resume.
In order to do that, Ryan Bader will need to go through a legend, an icon, an emperor. Bellator will kick off the new year with the culmination of the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix, as reigning light heavyweight champion and NCAA Division 1 All-American, Ryan Bader looks to become the first-ever Bellator two-weight world champion as he meets arguably the greatest fighter to ever live and former PRIDE heavyweight champion, Fedor Emelianenko.
The co-main event features the heavily promoted rising star, Aaron Pico, taking on the seasoned veteran, Henry “OK” Corrales. We will be taking a look at my top three fights that are less heralded and ones that could produce the next big thing in combat sports.
