At least one Bellator lighweight isn't too happy with where he's sitting right now, as Derek Anderson fights on the prelims of Bellator 141, despite recent wins over two of the top four fighters on the card.
You can't say he doesn't have the wins, just maybe not the name value quite yet. That's about the only reason it makes sense to see Derek Anderson sitting on the Bellator prelims, while Patricky Freire and Brandon Girtz sit in the co-main and main events of Bellator 141 respectively. Anderson, a 25-year old lightweight out of Xplode Fight team down in Escondido, California rolled into Bellator with a more shine than quality undefeated record back in 2013 for a bout with Patricky Freire, who was fresh off a loss to Eddie Alvarez at the time.
