Bellator 53’s Ronnie Mann not dwelling on loss, eager to capture tourney berth

When you don’t lose that often, a defeat is an especially important lesson.

On his way to winning the season-four Bellator featherweight tournament, Pat Curran outpointed Ronnie Mann to hand him just his third professional loss in 24 fights.

Now on the eve of a qualifier fight for the promotion’s next eight-man featherweight competition, Mann is determined not to make the mistake he did against Curran when he fights Kenny Foster at Bellator 53.
