Bellator 48 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT featured an amazing night of fights with the entire card putting on an exciting show.
After the event, Bleacher Report caught up with Seth “The Silverback” Petruzelli to get his thoughts on his performance, Kimbo’s boxing match and what happened to his hair.
The first question had to be about Seth’s hair, at which point he took off his hat and said, “Okay, you see the receding hairline there? I couldn’t hide it anymore.”
We went on to talk about where Seth saw his future—at light heavyweight or heavyweight. “I felt really comfortable at 220. I feel strong, I feel fast”
In the meantime, Seth looks to take a few months off, relax and let some injuries heal.
On Kimbo’s boxing match, Seth said, “I think he should have done that five years ago. The opponent obviously was questionable, but I’m happy for Kimbo, and I’ve said it before. People always ask me if I would get in a boxing match with Kimbo. I 100 percent would get in a boxing match with Kimbo.”
He then went on to say that he was offered that match a few years ago. “I was, there is truth to that—whether the promoters were being truthful whether they talked to him or not, I don’t know. They told me that they approached it with him, and they said that they didn’t want to do it.”
To close out the interview, Seth was asked how he felt about performance this evening. He said, “Excellent. It could not have gone any better for me. He wasn’t trying the takedown attempts like I thought, so I was able to let my hands go, let my kicks go—which obviously made some cool highlights if I get to see them. [It] definitely happened just how I wanted it to go.”
