    Bradley, Honeycutt to meet again at Bellator 148

    Two Bellator Fighting Championships veterans who each were two-time NCAA Division I All-Americans -- Paul Bradley, and Chris Honeycutt -- will be meeting again for the second time in a main-event matchup at Bellator 148 next month, the organization announced Thursday.

    Bradley, who wrestled at University of Iowa, and Honeycutt, 2012 NCAA finalist for Edinboro University, faced each other at Bellator 140 back in July, with the bout ending in a no-contest after the two 170-pounders unintentionally butted heads in the second round, with the former Hawkeye suffering a deep gash on his forehead just under the hairline which required nine stitches.

    The two former collegiate matmen will have an opportunity to settle things once and for all at Bellator 148 at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif., on Jan. 29. Headlining the event will be another former Edinboro wrestler, Josh Koscheck, who will be going up against Matt Secor.

    Honeycutt, the former Fighting Scot, posted fighting words on his Facebook page: "Looking forward to kicking ass again, let's get it on!!" By contrast, Paul "the Gentleman" Bradley let others do the talking for him.

    Bradley, 32, has compiled a professional record of 22 -- 6 (along with two no-contest decisions) since launching his mixed martial arts career in 2006. Since joining Bellator in Oct. 2013, the native of Tama, Iowa is 2-1 in his bouts other than this summer's set-to with Honeycutt.

    Honeycutt, 27, who announced his MMA career plans the night before this 2012 NCAA title match, is 6-0 in his MMA career, and is 2-0 since signing on with Bellator in 2014.

    Bradley-Honeycutt and Koscheck-Secor welterweight matches will be shown live on Spike TV, along with a third welterweight bout described as a Co-Main Event, featuring Paul Daley vs. Andy Uhrich, according to MMAmania.com. Three other matches -- two featherweight bouts, Anthony Avila vs. John Reedy, and Art Arcienega vs. Justin Smiley --and a heavyweight fight between Javy Ayala vs. Carl Seumanutafa -- will be shown on Spike.com.
