Jose Vega KO’s Way into Bantamweight Tourney in Bellator
From obscurity to the big stage, Jose Vega gets shot at stardom
Until Bellator 22, no one outside of Missouri knew who Jose Vega was. This past June at Bellator 22, Vega took the MMA world by storm knocking out Jarrod Card in the first round. The bout between Vega and Card was a televised ‘Local Feature Fight’ and Vega took full advantage of the opportunity.
Because of his eye popping victory, Vega has been rewarded with a spot in the Bantamweight tournament which will take place in Bellator’s upcoming season 3 tournament series. Vega will join the likes of Ulysses Gomez, Nik Mamalis and Travis “The Hurricane” Reddinger.

Jason Mayhem Miller vs Nick Diaz on the Net
Even before the war of words started a week or so ago on the Joe Rogan podcast where Jason Mayhem Miller was a guest, there was talk in the world of Strikeforce that a grudge match would be put together between Miller and Nick Diaz.
With the war of words in full swing, a bout between Miller and Diaz would seem very likely and very marketable. Although, having these 2 on a dais together to do a face off for a pre-fight press conference might need some serious amount of security to make sure that the fight doesn’t start early.

Paul Daley signs on for Shark Fights 13
Shark Fights 13 set for September 11th is quickly becoming an event to watch. First, the main event between Trevor Prangley and Keith Jardine was announced. Second, a bout between Rameau Thierry and Houston Alexander is named as co-main event. Now, Paul Daley has signed on to fight in Amarillo, TX. Daley’s opponent has yet to be named, but I have a feeling his opponent will be able to hang with all that have been named so far.
As you may know, Paul Daley (24-9-2) recently competed and won in Australia at Impact FC 2 by submitting Daniel Acacio. Daley was riding a 4 fight win streak before running into Josh Koscheck at UFC 113 and then throwing the punch that sent Daley out of the UFC. Just a reminder, Paul Daley throw a punch after the end of his bout with Josh Koscheck.
Also recently added to the Shark Fights 13 line up is a middleweight bout between Joey Villasenor and and Drew McFedries. Like I said at the top of the article…Shark Fights 13 on September 11th is quickly becoming an event to watch.
While all of these fighters have tasted the big stage and have fallen off in their own way, look for this event to be a platform that might bring some of these fighters back to the big shows whether it be the UFC or Strikeforce….or maybe even DREAM.
