Bellator MMA is an intriguing place these days. All one has to do is look back to this time last year, when the Scott Coker-led promotion was still reeling from the aftereffects of its bizarre Gracie-Shamrock headlined show — Bellator 149 — to get a sense of how far Bellator has come in a short amount of time.
Since that mess of a night, Bellator has made repeated headlines for a bevy of roster moves and compelling free agent signings that have reformed its roster in a major way, to the point where the organization is now preparing to stage its second-ever pay-per-view on June 24 at the fabled Madison Square Garden arena in New York.
