I have to admit I was a bit frustrated watching Heather Hardy and Ana Julaton fight at Bellator 194 on Friday in Uncasville, Connecticut. However, after I took a deep breath, I took a second look and remembered that they are taking a chance on the foreign grounds of mixed martial arts; and knowing each other from the boxing world, they decided to see who was taking this new game serious enough to step out of their comfort zone and test their new skill sets.
