When Bellator first tried a pay-per-view event, back at Bellator 120 while still under the steely frills-free eye of Bjorn Rebney, there was a healthy amount of harrumphing to be heard if one only cared to listen. Muhammad Lawal and Quinton Jackson, the headliners for that show, had a beef that went back to van ride they took together in 2009. You might remember the other passenger, poor Bobby Lashley, left grinning in between.
The fight took place in Jackson’s native city of Memphis. Or rather, across the river from Memphis in Southaven, Miss.
