Kyle Crutchmer On His “Bellator 260” Fight At Mohegan Sun, Future Plans, Training, Music & More
Bellator is a leading global MMA and kickboxing promotion featuring many of the best athletes in the world. Under the direction of veteran fight promoter Scott Coker, Bellator events take place in major cities around the world and can be seen on television in over 160 countries to an available audience of over 1 billion people. In the States, Bellator events from all over the world can be seen on Showtime — a new TV deal announced earlier this year — and online via Pluto TV and Bellator’s YouTube channel.
Bellator 259 took place at Mohegan Sun on May 21, 2021, as headlined by the long-anticipated “Cyborg vs. Smith 2” main event, as featuring a rematch of the UFC 198 bout between Cris Cyborg and Leslie Smith. After Bellator 259, 3 of the event’s winners — Hannah Guy, Leandro Higo and Cris Cyborg — and Bellator CEO Scott Coker answered questions from me via Zoom, as shown below.
The next big event for Bellator will be Bellator 260 featuring welterweight world champion Douglas Lima (32-8) defending his title against the undefeated No. 1 ranked 170-pounder Yaroslav Amosov (25-0). In the co-main event, the No. 6 ranked welterweight Paul Daley (42-17-2) returns to the Bellator cage facing the surging No. 3 ranked welterweight Jason Jackson (14-4) in a 175-pound contract weight scrap. Also fighting will be Kyle Crutchmer and Levan Chokheli in a welterweight bout.
On June 3, 2021, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kyle Crutchmer via Zoom, as embedded below. More on Crutchmer and Bellator can be found online via www.instagram.com/bellatormma, www.twitter.com/bellatormma, www.facebook.com/BellatorMMA and www.bellator.com.
