Bellator upset artist Toby Misech finds joy in fighting, working for Pepsi
Toby Misech Esther Lin, MMA Fighting Toby Misech thought he was fighting for his job when he showed up for a fight with ex-UFC bantamweight Erik Perez at Bellator 235. As it turned out, he also had to close out the show.
Misech was warming up backstage with teammates during a fight between Tywan Claxton and Braydon Akeo when Bellator officials told him a main event between Josh Barnett and Ronny Markes might be off. One fight later, he and Perez were the new main event.
“We just took it like nothing changed,” Misech told MMA Fighting. “We’re still the co-main.”
