Bellator MMA with some next-level trolling.
With Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in a pay-per-view (PPV) pickle -- because of this disaster -- it was forced to give unheralded bantamweight prospect Joe Soto an immediate 135-pound title shot against TJ Dillashaw in the UFC 177 main event, which takes place tonight (Sat., Aug. 30, 2014) inside Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California.
The same Joe Soto who was creamed by Joe Warren inside the Bellator cage back in 2010, in what would be the last time "One Bad Mofo" appeared for the Viacom-owned mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion.

Here's the fight in question:
Well played Bellator, well played.
But Soto -- filling in for the ailing Renan Barao -- can make the most of his Octagon debut, as well as get the last laugh, with a monster upset later tonight in "Sactown."
Find out if he gets it done right here.
