Shaking off a series of losses in mixed martial arts can be a tough row to hoe. When factoring in progressing age and descent from peak years, the daunting task seems downright impossible at times. Bellator MMA middleweight contender Gregory Babene likes operating against the grain.

Now 40, he finds himself on a run of eight straight victories ahead of his Bellator Champions Series 2 title eliminator opposite Costello van Steenis this Friday at Accor Arena in Paris.
