Heading into the final event of Bellator Fighting Championships third
season, Bellator middleweight champion Hector Lombard and Japanese
superstar Megumi Fujii were considered near-locks by MMA oddsmakers.
Only Lombard would deliver.
The Cuban judoka outlasted a gutsy Alexander Shlemenko to successfully
defend his 185-pound belt in the featured bout of Thursday’s Bellator 34
event, but Fujii was shocked by Zoila Frausto in a somewhat contentious
decision that saw the “Warrior Princess” claim Bellator’s first-ever
115-pound title.
