Bellator 170 interview: Rebuilt Kevin Casey primed for Keith Berry fight, promotional debut - 'It's my time'

Bellator 170: "Ortiz vs Sonnen" comes to The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., this Saturday night (Jan. 21, 2017), featuring a Spike TV-televised main event that is bound to be a box office ratings sensation -- "The Bad Boy" Tito Ortiz vs. "The Bad Guy" Chael Sonnen at Light Heavyweight.

Earlier in the night on the "Prelims" portion of the undercard, however, a familiar face for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fans will look to jump start his career in a brand new promotion at Middleweight. "King" Kevin Casey 9-5-1 (2 NC) was a member of Chael Sonnen's team on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 17, but wound up suffering a technical knockout loss to Josh Samman during the Finale event, ending his first UFC run.
