It’s hard to argue against the notion that Saad Awad is one of the best lightweights in the sport, not just in Bellator MMA.

Since maturing from a know-it-all slacker type of fighter into what he is today, Awad has truly come into his own. The Californian is as determined as ever and with each passing fight, he continues to improve by leaps and bounds.

If you ask him about his position in the sport and how much better he can become, Awad is quick to point out that what he doesn’t know could fill a library.
