After a trio of postponements and fight cancellations, Ronny Markes will finally make his Bellator debut on Dec. 10, taking on longtime company veteran Linton Vassell in Uncasville, Conn. In the end, Markes feels better than before for his first appearance in the circular cage at Bellator 254.
Markes was training in Brazil when he was first booked to enter the Bellator cage earlier this year, and then the COVID-19 pandemic left him stranded in his home country for a few months, unable to travel to the United States. This time, a full camp at Las Vegas’ Xtreme Couture was all he needed to shine.
