Famous Fighters you never knew Fought in Bellator

[@actioncross257]

That McGregor and Goddard fight definitely needs a rematch at some point.

[@locojoe3925]

Damn Kevin Holland was in the Mike Goldberg era of Bellator too

[@alpacapines8553]

Yeah. Iirc, it was right before the eggs contender series. I remember thinking it was odd bellator signed him for 1 fight.

[@thevikingpig9303]

I'm more surprised John anik used to commentate for them than any of the fighters lol

[@alpacapines8553]

Ah, yes, that Toby Imada choke. 🙌

[@locojoe3925]

That's one of my favorite submissions ever

[@AJKungFuu]

One of my top 5 favorite subs in the sports history.

[@eboymorales3047]

[@frankernest3712]

Masvidal turned blue

[@anacronix4193]

Brutal!!

[@samveuleman6728]

I love videos like this! Obscure things I had no idea about.

[@TheCybervoyeur]

That triangle choke on Jorge was a thing of beauty.

[@grapefruitsimmons]

The Imada vs Masvidal fight is what got me into bjj. Still top 10 subs of all time.

[@TheAntManChannel]

1:26 Pre-puberty Jon Anik 😂

[@drunkenmmamaster419]

Even Jon Anik came from Bellator

[@caninecurry5823]

Dam that choke out on Jorge is awesome

[@Mrmoustache6]

You coulda kept going. Bellator signs fighters to one off deals all the time to fill out prelims so the list of notable alumnis who only had a fight or two before they became notable is a mile long.

[@BrushworkNL]

Jon anik being in Bellator had me surprised

[@YouTubefreak92p]

You have some good viids.i like the old school intro.

[@takingoutthetrash1512]

that flip reversal migumi executed on esparza before the armbar was beautiful.. those japanese fighters are so tricky and talented

[@50.CalFilms]

Great video as always!

[@NahNeedsGarlic]

Lol, anyone notice the Roy Nelson switch?

[@Caveman_bjj20]

One that you missed was Adrian yanez

[@ItsNotCagefighting]

Honestly there's enough to do a sequel video one day. I didn't even get to guys like Yanez, Belal, Babalu etc.

[@Caveman_bjj20]

@@ItsNotCagefighting would love a sequel to be honest.

@@ItsNotCagefighting this was a really good video, man. I didnt know some of these guys were in Bellator.

[@hakr4751]

[@VintageFlub]

Luv u INC

[@jaybee11]

Belal Muhammad fought in Bellator once in 2013 if I recall correctly

[@jdbruiser]

Twice he fought in Bellator. Once at Bellator 84 in December 2012 and the second time at Bellator 112 in March 2014.

[@lostexodus]

Who?

[@jakeshreds420]

[@Ajayzmma]

OG's know that imada choke

[@mmsm6370]

Hendo's Smeegly Fastball always amazes me. Goblin windup...Crack!

[@darkside3744]

What’s funny is I still remember the Imada choke but totally forgot against who.

[@stewartmeetball3417]

Great watch this

[@danumberjuan8480]

At 3:42 you say for 4 years the two losses were her only blemishes before going on a 4 fight win streak then into TUF. Meaning she only fought once a year for 4 years. Crazy

[@ItsNotCagefighting]

Carla’s matches between the Jessica Aguilar fight and winning TUF. December 2011- Felice Herrig July 2012- Sarah Schneider October 2012- Lynn Alvarez January 2013- Bec Rawlings December 2014- Rose Namajunas (TUF Finale) In June 2013 and December 2013 she was supposed to fight Hamasaki and Gadelha respectively, but the fights fell through due to injury. 2014 meanwhile was spent recording TUF 20, so there’s three fights during this period.

[@danumberjuan8480]

@@ItsNotCagefighting Oh that makes more sense

[@Dembilaja]

Derrick Lewis, Alexander Volkov, Anthony Smith?

[@ItsNotCagefighting]

Volkov was a former champion so his reign wasn’t too obscure. No video footage exists of Smith and Lewis’ fights so they wouldn’t be interesting inclusions.

[@christopherhegarty1565]

I thought he was the 3rd to get 5 wins in a year cerrone and magny did as well

[@ItsNotCagefighting]

I think Cerrone got five wins in a 12 month period, but Magny and Holland did it between January 20xx and December 20xx.

[@JakeMuddMMA]

Off the top of my head I think of Josh Koschekand Josh Thompson let’s see if their in here

[@Prettyboysad]

Skinnt Derek Lewis is a sight to behold

[@batteryacid9435]

Ok but Denny Hamlin wanted no part of Roy Nelson so

[@user-bp7mz6nt5o]

Derrick Lewis fought once in bellator

[@ItsNotCagefighting]

It was touched on in the honourable mentions. No video footage of the fight however.

Why. Losing to the p4p nr1? What a shame. Guess those guys on the pitch with Messi should just quit.

[@jameshughes525]

@@Bigjuicydumbdumb LOL Jorge's lost like 17 times not just to Usman Jorge is a average fighter that had a good year and the media made him better than he was plus he's a ass hole

[@Trundle_TheGreat]

@@Bigjuicydumbdumb He’s lost five of his last eight and he’s on a three fight skid. Dude’s a legend but things aren’t looking great for him rn.

[@VladimirMiyazaki]

In my point Conor McGregor should join Bellator. He will make crazy money in just endorsements and he can be a partner with Scott Coker

[@hakr4751]

Dana wouldn't like it

[@VladimirMiyazaki]

@@hakr4751 Dana will say "that's fucking illegal"

Gotta say Mark Goddard got robbed

[@petrurk6835]

Get Carla esparza out of here pls

[@ItsNotCagefighting]

Is she a notable fighter who had a forgotten run in Bellator? Yes. Then she warrants inclusion.
