Joe Warren vs. Joe Soto Featherweight Title Fight Slated for Bellator 27 in San Antonio; Season 3 Shaping Up


(In case you forgot who Joe Soto is, here’s his beatdown of Yahir Reyes from the featherweight finals at Bellator 10.)

Not counting their impending battle in a court of law, Bellator’s third season will be packed with compelling matchups. The tournament-based fight club announced today that season 2 featherweight winner Joe Warren will challenge for Joe Soto‘s belt at Bellator 27 (September 2nd at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio). Soto ran through Bellator’s inaugural 145-pound tourney last year, and most recently scored a TKO over Diego Saraiva in a non-title bout at Bellator 19, bringing his unblemished record to 9-0.

For its upcoming season, Bellator is focusing on big men, tiny women, and exiled UFC talent. Here’s a rundown of the notable matches that have been reportedly booked so far…

    UFC owns Bellator, and I hear they are canceling all the fights

    Jessica Pene has a profile too, but it's not funny yet. Tonya Evinger is pretty funny though.

    Wow. Jessica Pene is fighting Zoila Frausto. So, i guess someone's gonna be on the recieving end of a highlight ko reel. Or maybe she'll make a name for herself.

    2DaDeath >> Pene has some impressive striking herself, and Frausto's ground game does not exist. Frausto's advantage in that fight will be size.

    Angela Magana. Record, 8 - 4 - 0 vs Megumi Fujii 20-0.......I'll take Megumi in this one,...by sub. Jessica Aguilar 8 - 3 - 0 vs. Lynn Alvarez 5-1-0, Jessica Has more experience and is much more pleasing to the eye's,.....Lynn has a face like a boiled owl....I'll pick The Jag to win. As much on looks as her record. Jessica Pene 7-0 vs. Zoila Frausto 7-1 Nice match up record wise,...but My sexist side goes with Jessica.... as Zoila has a face like Lynn Alvarez. Unprepossessing. Aisling Daly 9-0 vs. Lisa Ward 13 - 5,...Lisa has more cage time and is the better looking of the two,....Aisling is also an Irish Ginger. -2...lol....jk Putting all the crap about looks aside I would still make the same picks

    @ballkick: "face like a boiled owl" has been added to my top-shelf insults, and i award you many internets. although i'm suspicious of this system of picking the better looking fighter; on the surface, it would seem that mean she's been hit less. looking deeper, it may also mean she trains less. as proof of this, i offer you cyborg. when did the ufc cut 'no love'? have i been asleep?

    Face like a "boiled owl" Conjures up an immediate image that causes most people to give pause, have got ten lots of laughs with that one I must say.
