Bellator is back in action this Friday, January 29th in Fresno California with a card that was supposed to feature both Josh Koscheck and Paul Daley. The two men wouldn't be fighting each other (yet), but it seemed primed to showcase both men and set up a future bout down the line. Instead Koscheck was forced off the card with an injury and Daley is left as the headliner with promising up and comer Chris Honeycutt taking on Paul Bradley in the co-main event. It promises to be a solid night of action fights that should showcase some decent rising talent and some solid vets. A good card for a Friday night if you just can't get enough fights in your life.
