All over the map: Mansour Barnaoui details international journey to Bellator signing, a decision based on respect

Mansour Barnaoui chose to sign with Bellator for the same reasons he chose to fight in Asia for much of his career.

“I had a lot of power and energy inside the cage (when competing in Asia),” Barnaoui recently told MMA Junkie through an interpreter. “I loved the respect they had for their fighters. I felt a lot of power and respect. This was also the reason why I chose Bellator, because there is respect for the fighters.”
