Former Bellator title challenger Marcin Held has joined the UFC’s lightweight division.
Another Bellator talent has joined the UFC, and this time it’s season 10 lightweight tournament winner and Polish MMA grappling phenom Marcin Held.
The 24-year-old fighter had previously been released from the promotion earlier this year after a win over fellow former Bellator fighter Dave Jansen, and has amassed a very respectable record, including 12 submission wins. Held has had some of the most dynamic submission finishes in Bellator history and should be a very tough matchup for anyone in the lightweight division due to his grappling ability and nonstop pace of attack.
