Teammates fighting teammates may soon be an issue that isn't identified solely with the UFC.
One of the sport's other top promotions may soon face that possibility.
After all, newly crowned Bellator champion bantamweight Eduardo Dantas expects friend and teammate Marcos Galvao to win the season-six bantamweight tournament and claim a title shot. And Dantas isn't sure he's ready to fight him.

Before I even begin to analyze this card, let’s get a few things out of the way: No, there were not as many decisions on this card as last week’s smothering performances; the main event ended by submission. No, the card overall was not comparable to a ProElite event, although there was a light sparring session thrown in with the fights that we could have done without. Simply put, the main card ...

Bellator 65 went down in Atlantic City tonight, so in honor of Kieran's randomly themed Bellator previews I intend on wrapping up the latest event with a Boardwalk Empire style. HBO shows for the win (It's not just TV its H B F'n O).
