Emanuel Newton is getting ready for the first one-night tournament of his career, on Bellator's Dynamite MMA & Kickboxing event taking place Saturday, September 19th. He spoke to Bloody Elbow about what he hopes winning big there will do for him going forward.
Emanuel Newton is in a bit of strange place with this Bellator 1-night, 4-man light heavyweight tournament. Of all the competitors, he's the only one to ever actually hold the 205 lb strap previously. And while he's also far and away the most experienced fighter stepping into the cage among them, he's also one of the youngest.
