Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney has some high praise for undefeated welterweight Adam McDonough, who knocked out Nathan Coy last week at Bellator 116.

Tito Ortiz will likely have a major weight advantage on his side when he meets Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko in a light heavyweight bout that’s being planned for Bellator’s May 17 pay-per-view event.

Shawn Porter did what no other man has done before: destroy former two-time world champion Paulie Malignaggi. Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs) was all over “The Magic Man” from the opening bell and never let the Brooklyn boxer to settle in. He forced Malignaggi into a slugfest and it paid off.

He’s been doubted many a time during the past dozen years, but Bernard Hopkins continues to scoff at those who reckon he’s too old to climb into the ring.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — He’s more magician now than pure fighter, more poised technician than brutal puncher. Above all, Bernard “The Alien” Hopkins remains defiant. He’s 49 years old, doing something most men his age are either dreaming of or reminiscing about.
