Despite a recent setback, Enrique Barzola’s championship dreams in Bellator remain strong.
The winner of season two of “The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America” is still gunning for the Bellator bantamweight title following his exit from the promotion’s grand prix. Barzola (18-6-2 MMA, 2-1 BMMA), who entered the tournament after defeating Nikita Mikhailov in the wild card qualifier, was eliminated by Magomed Magomedov in the quarter-final round this past June.
It was a tough loss, as Barzola was winning the fight to many, but got caught in a guillotine choke at the end of the fourth round.
