Sean Wheelock details abrupt termination from Bellator, looks back on early commentary work with Teddy Atlas

Former Bellator MMA commentator Sean Wheelock spoke with Bloody Elbow's Three Amigos Podcast to talk about the next phase in his commentary career, the 'seismic shift' he sees coming for MMA, and the most shocking ending to any fight he's called.

Longtime Bellator MMA play-by-play voice Sean Wheelock was surprisingly removed from his position back in July. In his place came Boston Celtics radio play-by-play man Sean Grande, while Wheelock's great friend Jimmy Smith remained in his color commentary spot. Wheelock has since taken a (unpaid) role as a Kansas Athletic Commission member, but he has made it clear that this was not related to his firing, which was done by Spike.
