Not many mixed martial artists talk the talk any better than Danny Sabatello. He walks a pretty good walk, too.
The hubris-infused Chicago native will lock horns with Raufeon Stots for the interim Bellator MMA bantamweight championship when their grand prix semifinal headlines Bellator 289 on Friday at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Sabatello enters the cage with the wind of a seven-fight winning streak in his sails. He last fought at Bellator 282, where he was awarded a five-round unanimous decision over Leandro Higo in the tournament quarterfinals on June 24.
