Bellator 27 Fight Card: Joe Soto vs. Joe Warren

by Nick Thomas on Aug 31, 2010 9:52 AM EDT in Bellator News

Join us at Bloodyelbow.com for Bellator 27 - Thursday, September 2nd, live on Fox Sports Net at 8:00 PM EST:

"Of our four upcoming world title fights, the Soto-Warren fight is hugely intriguing," said Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney. "Joe Soto is extremely talented and has made a collection of top ten rankings. Warren's a world-class wrestler who beat one of the greatest featherweights in the world in just his second fight. He has tremendous heart and he doesn't understand what the word 'lose' means. Joe Soto also comes from a national-caliber wrestling background and anyone who saw his fight with Diego Saraiva in May knows that his game is polished and world-class throughout every facet of MMA. This should be a truly spectacular fight."

Soto vs Warren

A great fight that would be way more hyped if it were being promoted by Zuffa. People need to tune in for this!

So Dana allowed Dan Hardy

to fight outside of the Zuffa banner??? I always thought Hardy was a pretty big Welterweight. Curious to see how he handles the cut to Bantamweight

Looking forward to this one!

This card has a good chance of looking like WEC lite…
Hopefully Soto can keep that fight fast paced and entertaining.

Nick Mamalis

Impressed the hell out of me in his 2 Bellator fights. Can’t wait to see him in the tourney

Mamalis did look great. However, I was not impressed by his ring shorts. Otherwise, he has the potential to make it far.

this card should be dope

soto vs warren could be a fight of the year candidate

People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.

Finally, a good Bellator card in Season 3.

Anyone have any info on when Askren/Good will go?

I thought they were originally supposed to go sometime in August or maybe September, but I’ve seen nothing on it. As a Mizzou alum, I am excited to see Askren hopefully take the next step.
