Fightweets: Lyoto Machida signing caps Bellator’s big week

Just when it seemed like we were all sitting around killing time until UFC 226 happens, along came Bellator with a big news week. The sport’s No. 2 company announced a superfight between middleweight champ Gegard Mousasi and welterweight champ Rory MacDonald, then followed up a day later by signing all-time great Lyoto Machida to a contract.

And with that, what had been a slow week turned into one with a lot of buzz, so let’s get right into it.
