Bellator Featherweight Champion Joe Warren will defend his title against No. 1 contender Pat Curran on Friday, March 9, in Hammond, IN, according to the Chicago Tribune's Matt Erickson. The fight will take place in Bellator's second event of their sixth season at The Venue at Horseshoe Casino.
Warren (7-2) has yet to defend the title he won in a comeback victory over Joe Soto in September 2010. Since then, he picked up a controversial split decision over Marcos Galvao in a catchweight fight and was knocked out in 64 seconds by Alexis Vila in his bantamweight tournament debut last September.
Curran (16-4) won Bellator's most recent 145-pound tournament, defeating Marlon Sandro by second round KO in August. It was his second tournament victory for the 24-year-old as he won their 2010 lightweight tournament, dropping a competitive unanimous decision to then-champion Eddie Alvarez. He is the cousin of UFC/WEC veteran Jeff Curran.
Bellator's next season of action kicks off on Friday, March 2, on MTV2.

I have Pat Curran winning this. He is a huge Featherweight, and I think he can defend Warren’s takedowns. On the feet, I see Curran finding openings that Warren leaves in the standup.

I went on Wikipedia just now to look up Joe Warren and see if there was anything in his listing about how he’s doing in his wrestling training and: Wikipedia has started their 24 hour blackout! Arrrrrghhhh….
you think thats bad?
I was in the middle of studying for a law final and Wiki went down.
And now Im just wasting time, out of frustration

I want Joe to talk as much shit as is humanly possible before this fight
to make his inevitable loss even more Schadenfreudetastic for the viewers
I want Warren to win so that Patricio can exact revenge on him in the next fight

Warren should have a 4-5 record
He should fight Garcia, who should be a nine fight losing streak. Have a split decision draw or something.

If warren and garcia were to fight each other the judges heads would explode.
There would be no way for them to figure out who to gift the decision to.

Warren made a bad decision to drop to 135 and Bellator should have asked that he vacate 145 first
If he wins, he’ll have to excuse his loss to Vila as possibly a weight-cut issue or something along those lines. Hopefully he loses this one as karma, and a drop down to 135 following a loss is the logical move but nonetheless clouded by Vila’s KO.
Best case scenario for me is that he loses two more, gets cut and moves over to the UFC’s flyweight division.

Can't wait to see Curran whoop that ass
Cant stand warren, AT ALL.

I keep thinking of when Curran knocked Sando’s lights out. I see a repeat of that happening

Curran is just a very big Featherweight as well, and I think that Warren will have problems with that. Curran has some power in his hands, and I can see him finishing Warren.
