LOS ANGELES -- A lesser person than Colleen Schneider might get mad about being placed on the opening bout of the preliminary card at Bellator 170.
There are, after all, 19 fighters who don’t even have Wikipedia pages on the prelim card at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif. on Saturday night. But Schneider, who has 17 pro matchups under the belt, finds herself working in the curtain-jerker fight.
Schneider, who brings a 4-1 record in her past five fights into her Bellator debut, is taking the high road on something other veterans might consider a slight.
“It’s not disrespectful,” says Schneider (10-7), who makes her flyweight debut on the card.
