Following a two-year patch without a win in four bouts, lightweight veteran John “The Natural” Alessio got back on the winning track last year with a unanimous decision victory over Eric Wisely in his second bout with Bellator.
“It was a tough couple years with losses and some injuries, so it’s really nice to get back on the winning side of things” Alessio told MMAWeekly.com. “I’m just going to build off of that and keep that momentum going. I’m feeling great and I’m ready to get back to work.”
Even though he has 17 years of MMA experience, Alessio feels like he can still evolve as a fighter and continues to do so.
