Review: 2012-05-25, good and fast submission in the first round but it is not enough to get three stars. The undefeated Cole Konrad (8-0-0) entered as the No.13 heavyweight in the world while Eric Prindle (7-1-0) entered as the No.35.

Review: 2012-03-09, even with the submission in the second round, the fight between Alexandre Bezerra and Kenny Foster has not been particularly exciting: two stars (but we suggest you to watch the “acrobatics” of Bezerra after two minutes of the second round; 10min and 40 seconds of the video).

Bezerra vs Foster is the quarterfinal of the Bellator Featherweight Tournament; undercard of Joe Warren vs Pat Curran (Bellator 60). Watch the video!
