Douglas ‘The Phenom’ Lima is the new Bellator Welterweight Champion. Rick Hawn came to fight with a specific strategy in mind and that was his eventual downfall. Despite repeatedly getting kicked in the leg, he refused to adapt his gameplan to that of Lima’s and continued to press forward, attacking without checking the leg kicks.

Bellator Champ Newton: 'Bellator Will Surpass The UFC'

BJPENN.COM News - March 20, 2014

“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.
