It’s time for another Friday night Viacom MMA show as Bellator 233 kicks off from the WinStar World Casino in Thacker, Oklahoma. The top of the billing will pit two stout grapplers against one another, when the 16-4 John Salter meets the 12-1 Costello van Steenis.
Salter is veteran of the Bellator cage, up for his eighth promotional bout. If there’s one thing Salter just simply does not do, it’s go to the judges’ scorecards. Out of 20 professional MMA matches, John has been seen a decision exactly zero times. That’s downright astonishing. The man comes to finish, and will also go out on his shield, as infrequent as that might be.
