Veteran MMA fighter Benji 'Razor' Radach returns at Bellator 137

He hasn't been seen inside a mixed martial arts (MMA) cage in nearly five years, but Benji "Razor" Radach is ready to return on short notice, making his promotional debut for Bellator MMA on May 15th.

Radach's last fight was also for a Scott Coker-helmed promotion, as the longtime veteran last fought for Strikeforce at "Henderson vs. Babalu II," losing a three-round decision to the rising MMA star Ovince St. Preux.

For the Bellator 137 card at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, Calif., Radach will be replacing the injured A.J. Matthews for a preliminary fight on Spike.com, taking on the undefeated Ben "The Hunter" Reiter (15-0-1).
