Johnny Eblen almost got into a second fight after his successful Bellator title defense, and it was with none other than UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards.
On Saturday, Eblen stopped Fabian Edwards, Leon’s brother, in the third round of their middleweight championship bout in the main event of Bellator 299 at 3Arena in Dublin.
Adrenaline was running and Eblen (14-0 MMA, 10-0 BMMA) began to shout over a knocked-out Edwards (12-3 MMA, 8-3 BMMA), as the two had some bad blood in the lead up to the event. Naturally, Leon didn’t take that kindly, and the two had a confrontation in the cage and had to be separated by security.
