With a pair of controversial decision defeats under the Bellator
Fighting Championships banner, Marcos Galvao knows
a thing or two about painful losses.
Of course, those temporary setbacks pale in comparison to the loss of a
parent, and for Galvao, who competes in the headlining matchup of this
weekend’s Bellator 73 event, it’s the memory of his mother that is
fueling him to victory.
“Before my mother passed away, I made a promise to her that I’ll win
this tournament and that I’ll be the champion,” Galvao told
MMAjunkie.com. “I’m keeping
my word.”
