THACKERVILLE, Okla. – For the first time in a while, Tyrell Fortune is coming into a Bellator fight week happy with his turnaround time. Fortune (7-0 MMA, 7-0 BMMA) takes on Azunna Anyanwu (15-5 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) in a heavyweight fight to open the Bellator 233 main card Friday at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Okla. The main card airs on Paramount and streams on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie. After his first three pro fights, all of which came under the Bellator banner, it’s been increasingly difficult for Fortune to get fights in a quick enough time frame, as far as he was concerned, after his wins. Fortune went nine months between his third and fourth fight; five months between four and five; eight months between five and six; and six months between his sixth bout and most recent one, a second-round submission of Rudy Schaffroth at Bellator 225 in August.
