Stop me if you heard this one before, but an UFC fighter just struggled in his Bellator debut. Gegard Mousasi and Alexander Shlemenko did not go according to plan.
Against a much smaller fighter Mousasi struggled with the striking game, got his right eye completely shut and squeaked by through a controversial judge’s decision.

But seriously Mousasi was fighting a stone cold killer with one functioning eye. Mousasi has now won six fights in a row and is likely in line for a Bellator middleweight title shot sometime in 2018.
