After a tough 2106, Saad Awad is looking to become a factor this year in either Bellator’s lightweight or welterweight division.
In the meantime, he’s going to split the difference.
The San Bernardino, Calif.-based veteran will meet Ryan Quinn on the main card of Bellator 178 on Friday night in Uncasville, Conn. And when Awad noticed that that his American Top Team opponent is also capable of going either up or down in weight, he came up with a proposal: let’s meet in the middle.
“I mean, he can do it, I can do it, and it’s not like catchweight is this big taboo like it used to be,” Awad told MMAFighting.
