Saad Awad wants a third meeting with Will Brooks. | Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com
The first two meetings between Saad Awad and Will Brooks were a study in contrasts.
In their first fight at Bellator 91, Awad shocked Brooks with a 43-second knockout victory -- the first and only defeat of the American Top Team product’s professional career. Their rematch took on a decidedly different tone, as “Ill Will” grounded his opponent repeatedly en route to a unanimous verdict.
That triumph was part of Brooks’ current seven-fight tear, a streak that includes back-to-back wins over Michael Chandler and his first successful title defense against Dave Jansen at Bellator 136 last week.
