Bellator 155's Pat Curran leaning toward full-time move to Blackzilians: 'It's bringing out a different fighter in me'

Former Bellator two-time featherweight champion, Pat Curran, is confident his recent changes in training will lead to a win against Georgi Karakhanyan at Bellator 155 and thrust him back into title contention.

After defeating Emmanuel Sanchez at Bellator 139 last June, Pat Curran (21-7) was gaining positive momentum and more importantly, snapping the first two-fight losing streak of his career.

But as he was preparing to face Justin Lawrence at Bellator 145, Curran, 28, suffered an injury to his knee that put him on the shelf the last few months.

"I was getting ready for my last fight and I was about six weeks out, I shot in on a double and took the corner to re-shoot and my MCL popped," Curran told MMAmania.
