Bellator 188: Lahat vs. Labiano fight card preview
Bellator 188 is set to take place from Tel Aviv, Israel despite losing its main event title fight between featherweight champ Patricio Freire and challenger Daniel Weichel. As they say in the entertainment biz, the show must go on, so the new main event will see Israel’s own Noad Lahat taking on the 11-5 Jeremiah Labiano. The co-main event will witness the owner of a 6-fight finishing streak, John Salter, take on a fellow athlete that has also never seen a judges decision in his professional career, Jason Radcliffe. Between the 12-4 Radcliffe and the 14-3 Salter, that’s 33 fights with 33 finishes, so it’s probably best to avoid blinking for that one. There will be a ton of Israeli talent on display in the undercard, so look for Bellator ring announcer Michael C. Williams to bring the lumber with some pretty proper pronunciation.
