MMAmania's Brian Hemminger takes a look at Friday night's Bellator 65 main card which features a bantamweight title fight and three tournament bouts in the featherweight and 135 pound divisions.
Just one step away from his second shot at the Bellator middleweight tournament finals, Bryan Baker ran into the freight train that was Vitor Vianna's right hand. The fast-rising Brazilian prospect punched his ticket to the finals with a dazzling knockout just 54 seconds into the first round at Bellator 54.
Winning a Bellator tournament is not only a career-defining moment for its winner, it's usually a financial milestone as well. In the sport of mixed martial arts, there isn't a single promotion that allows prospects the opportunity to earn $100,000 bucks in the span of a few months.
MMAmania's Brian Hemminger catches up with Bellator bantamweight champion Zach Makovsky and discusses a wide range of issues from his upcoming fight on Saturday and talks about the mental side of MMA.
