PrintHey guys,
I know it's been a little while. Just want to say what's up!? & I hope you guys are looking forward to watching the Bellator event this Saturday. I am stoked to get back into the cage and fight. I am pretty damn excited to be involved in Bellators' Season 5 Welterweight Tournament. I think this season is stack with talent, and it should be exciting as a fan and a participant to see how it all plays out.
I wanna thank all you guys that have supported me throughout the years. This is a serious moment in my life and career right now, and I don't plan on letting it slip away. I feel it's time to do it BIG this year! I am gonna be a Champion one way or another and see this as my time to shine. I'm coming for that Bellator Belt!
Who's with me!? Lol ;D
Also if you want...

Hope you get it man
Also I must say how fucking rad I think it is that you come to these sites and actually write to the fans, I think more fighters should follow your lead on this. Says a lot about your character sir. Give em hell Ben, give em hell.
Totally agree. Ben is the man.
It is awesome having this personal access to a professional fighter. I cant say Ive ever had this opportunity with any other fighters before as someone who just (religiously) follows the sport. It is actually the only sport I watch and I think my passion for it makes up for the lack of interest in all other sports combined.
Wish more fighers stopped by and wrote to the fans that support them, and hell, even respond to some of their comments, because thats pretty damn cool.

I'd also be happy if he called Mike Swick a bitch again in this fight.

Not sure if you're aware of this Ben.....but you're the "Panty Dropper of the Week."
It’s kind of a big deal….you should feel honored.

Throw an Extra Knee just for good measure and get that belt.

I’m going to bed now, got a BIG Day tomorrow. But I will definitely be taking all this positive energy into the cage with me as I attempt to get another “W” in brutal, and exciting fashion! =)

It really would be kind of funny if he said, “I want to thank all the folks at BE,” and then yelled, “War Menckenstein!” Sounds like something you’d hear in a Woody Allen movie.
