Knockout artist Brett Cooper rounds out the bracket for Bellator’s 170 lbs. tournament. The Long Beach, Calif., native enters the tournament winning seven of his last eight fights. Six of those seven wins have come by KO or TKO with the other coming via the rare anaconda choke. Cooper’s toughness was put on display during the December 2007 IFL Grand Prix Finals when he TKO’d current UFC fighter Rory Markman, taking the fight with just two weeks’ notice. With 17 career fights Cooper looks to capitalize on his experience and make a name for himself in Bellator’s welterweight division.
This will be easier said than done in Bellator’s stacked 170 lbs. division. Cooper joins Ben Askren, Dan Hornbuckle, “Judo” Jim Wallhead, Jacob McClintock, Steve Carl, Sean Pierson, and Ryan Thomas in the quest to become the number one contender and ultimately face the Bellator Welterweight Champion Lyman Good in a title fight. Cooper, however, says he is up for the challenge and eager to get underway. “It’s super exciting,” he said. “To fight in front of millions of MMA fans and all of my friends and family—words can’t really explain it.”
