Join us at Bloodyelbow.com for Bellator 27 – Thursday, September 2nd, live on Fox Sports Net at 8:00 PM EST:
“Of our four upcoming world title fights, the Soto-Warren fight is hugely intriguing,” said Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney. “Joe Soto is extremely talented and has made a collection of top ten rankings. Warren’s a world-class wrestler who beat one of the greatest featherweights in the world in just his second fight. He has tremendous heart and he doesn’t understand what the word ‘lose’ means. Joe Soto also comes from a national-caliber wrestling background and anyone who saw his fight with Diego Saraiva in May knows that his game is polished and world-class throughout every facet of MMA. This should be a truly spectacular fight.”
