Recently-crowned LFA light heavyweight champion Alex Polizzi is heading to Bellator. Two weeks ago, the LFA title was wrapped around Polizzi’s waist for the first time when he submitted Dana White’s Contender Series alumnus Jamal Pogues with a fourth-round heel hook. It didn’t take long for Bellator to come knocking, and the promotion soon after signed Polizzi (6-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) to a “long-term contract,” a promotion official told MMA Junkie. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Polizzi wrestled at Northwestern University After college, he mostly has competed on the Midwest regional scene en route to his title shot in late February. He’s never gone the distance, picking up three TKOs and three submission victories under his belt.
