Bellator MMA returns tonight live and free on Spike TV from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut with Scott Coker’s first offering as Bellator president.
In the main event of Bellator 123, reigning Bellator featherweight champion Pat Curran looks to defend his title against the uber dangerous Patricio “Pitbull” Freire in a rematch of their title fight at Bellator 85.
In their first battle, Curran defended his title after he was given the split decision nod after a razor close five round fight. Since losing the title fight, Pitbull has won four straight bouts including three knockouts, earning his rematch with Curran tonight.
The card features a bevy of exciting fights including former UFC fighters Cheick Kongo taking on Lavar Johnson, former Strikeforce champion Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal taking on Dustin Jacoby, and a lot more.
