Joey Beltran Returns to Bellator Against Rampage

Today Bellator MMA has announced that despite Tito Ortiz's injury that Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will still make his Bellator debut in November with a new replacement opponent.  Jackson was originally set to face Tito Ortiz in Bellator's first every Pay-Per-View event on November 2nd.  With Ortiz's injury during his training camp, Bellator decided to remove the card from Pay-Per-View and place it as a free card on Spike.  The man that Rampage Jackson will be facing on November 15th to replace Ortiz is former UFC Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight, Joey Beltran.  Beltran has three victories in the UFC and one in Bellator.  He has a similar boxing/striking first approach to fighting that is similar to Jackson's in many ways.  This fight will be a slugfest that I see Jackson winning without a doubt.  I think it will definitely be entertaining, but Jackson has a much better track record to lose a fight to Beltran.
