Former Bellator finalist Alexis Vila convicted in 2011 kidnapping and murder of Camilo Salazar

After just two hours of deliberation, a jury in Miami-Dade County, FL found former Bellator tournament finalist Alexis Vila Perdomo, 48, guilty of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and murder (per Local 10). That same jury also found Roberto Isaac, 63, a former boxing promoter and trainer, guilty of second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

Vila Perdomo, who won a bronze medal while wrestling for Cuba at the 1996 Olympics before defecting to the U.S., was arrested in April 2018 and initially charged with second degree murder over the 2011 killing of Camilo Salazar.
