He may already have a WEC bantamweight title to his credit, but Chase Beebe remains a relative unknown in the Bellator world.

A victory tonight in the opening round of Bellator’s eight-man bantamweight tournament would be a step in the right direction.

LAS VEGAS – For Brazilian slugger Fabio Maldonado,
earning a victory in his UFC debut simply wasn’t enough to leave him
