Bellator
Ronny Markes enters his 28th professional MMA bout at Friday’s Bellator 262 in Uncasville, Conn., but facing Said Sowma will be different than any other fight he’s ever had.
A veteran of the game who has competed against the likes of Yoel Romero, Thiago Santos, Paulo Filho and Linton Vassell, Markes agreed to facing Sowma in a heavyweight bout despite their relationship as occasional training partners over at American Top Team in Florida.
“He’s the most humble guy there is at ATT,” Markes said in an interview with MMA Fighting. “Everybody loves this guy. He helps everybody. He truly is a nice guy, but I couldn’t turn down the fight. I’m coming off a loss, so it’s a complicated situation. But I hope it doesn’t change anything because I hope to train at ATT in the future. There’s nothing we can do. We’re professionals.”
