England's Liam McGeary is the first (and only) British fighter to capture a major MMA promotion's belt. The unbeaten light heavyweight took the Bellator light heavyweight title away from Emanuel Newton in February. Newton survived an incredible series of submission attempts, but McGeary fittingly capped off the promotion's "British Invasion" card by improving his record to 10-0 and getting the decision win to become the new champion.
The 32-year-old's next challenge is a title defense vs. the legendary Tito Ortiz, one of the consensus greatest 205ers of all-time. A win for McGeary, even against a well past his prime Tito, would be the most high-profile of his career, especially given the grandiose nature of the "Dynamite" card.
