UNCASVILLE, Conn. – When he heard Raufeon Stots announced as the winner of their Bellator bantamweight grand prix semifinal, Danny Sabatello stormed out of the cage. It wouldn’t have been a surprise if Sabatello ditched the Bellator 289 post-event news conference, but he didn’t.
He had some things to get off his chest.
“Pissed off,” Sabatello told reporters, including MMA Junkie, backstage at Mohegan Sun Arena. “I think I won that fight. My team thinks I won that fight. Obviously I take full responsibility for the loss. Anytime you lose a decision, you could’ve obviously stopped the other guy and won by stoppage whether it’s by KO or submission.”
