The co-main event of tonight’s Bellator 144 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut will be a welterweight bout between Brennan Ward and Dennis Olson.
During yesterday’s weigh-ins, Olson told Bellator color commentator Jimmy Smith that he “talks a lot to get himself hyped” and claimed it would be the fight of the night. Following Ward making weight, he told Smith that “he does not talk a lot to himself to get hyped up.”
After Ward made his statement to Smith, the two fighters had a staredown and would have to be separated by multiple Bellator officials including match maker Rich Chou.
