Campos out; Edimilson "Kevin" Souza  (15-4) signs with Bellator MMA to face Patricky "Pitbull" Freire (15-7) at ‎Bellator152‬ this Friday in Italy.

Good replacement. I think Patricky will take him out though.

It was an ok show.

Jimmy Smith is good on the announce team. The guy that replaced Wheelock is HORRIBLE. Hiring him was a bad move.

Nice finish by Sakara. He looked good in his Bellator debut.

FUN show...

Yankova looked good though touted as a standup queen showed some nice skill with the sub finish.Look forward to her fighting in mma and kickboxing.

Aj mckee simply outclassed his opponent very hot prospect can't wait for another fight.

Sakara rebounded well after being grounded by Rogers only to get the awesome ko in the second....rogers gas tank is a joke lol.

Patricky looked excellent and souza looked pretty good too considering short notice.Good fight and i look forward to both guys future fights.

This friday is going to be a good event and im really looking firward to bellator kickboxing debut.....italy fights looked really good.

Nice event outside the country naking history for Bellator and showing viacom and spike are getting more serious by expanding globally.

CAN'T wait for a brazil or russian bellator card.
