This Friday night (Oct. 23, 2015) at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., "Bull" Brandon Halsey has a chance to regain the Bellator Middleweight title he never lost in a fight when he collides with Rafael Carvalho for the vacant strap.
The irony for Halsey is that he's the former Middleweight champion and undefeated (9-0). That might seem statistically impossible, but the reality is Halsey was stripped of the title for missing weight before his first-ever title defense.
Even though Halsey could no longer retain the belt, he dominated Kendall Grove in their Bellator 137 bout, and in the process earned top contender status to claim the vacant championship.
