Ben Saunders has gotten close enough in Bellator twice before that he’s hoping to get a third shot and make it the charm.
Saunders on Friday meets Brian Warren in a 178-pound catchweight fight at Bellator 72. And the UFC and “TUF 6” veteran is hoping a win puts him in line for another chance at Bellator gold.
“Being a champion is pretty much what I got in this game for,” Saunders on Tuesday told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “That’s definitely part of the plan. As far as this fight coming up, it’s just – get back in the win column and put that loss behind me.”
