CHICAGO – Karl Moore is on an upswing and he’s enjoying every second of it.
Nearly 12 years a professional in MMA, Moore (11-2 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) finally has carved out his spot on the promotion ahead of his bout Friday at Bellator 297. The bout marks his first in the United States and Moore is happy to have proven to the promotion he’s a show worth taking on the road.
“I don’t know about every Irish guy, but for me, one of the best things about being in MMA, one of my main goals is to fight in a premiere organization, one of the biggest shows in the world, in a massive stadium,” Moore told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a news conference Tuesday. “I mean, I’m in Chicago. What is it, the second biggest city in America? In a class arena. It’s one of the MMA lifetime goals. For me, it’s like I’ve already won. I’m fighting in Chicago in the biggest organization in the world and I get paid to do it.”
