At long last Nick Newell is fighting in the Bellator cage, and in front of a hometown crowd no less.
Newell (15-2) makes his Bellator debut on Saturday, August 24 after years of fighting in other promotions. The Milford, Connecticut resident will face off with Corey Browning (4-1) on the undercard of Bellator 225. The card marks Bellator’s first appearance in Connecticut off of tribal lands.
Newell expects to have plenty of support in the stands for his bout with Browning, thanks in large part to ticket selling Newell and his mother law did before the fight.
