Former UFC fighter and current Bellator combatant Joey Beltran returns to the cage Friday, May 20, at Bellator 155.
"The Mexicutioner," who's dropped from heavyweight to light heavyweight and then to middleweight since his UFC release, moves back to heavyweight to face Chase Gormley at the event. MMA Fighting caught up with the man who once took the current UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic the distance to talk about his upcoming fight against Gormley, his lengthy career, and his job as a furniture salesman.
Below is a transcript of the conversation.
