Fight fans haven’t seen Mauricio Alonso compete inside the Bellator cage since he finished “The Ultimate Fighter 1” veteran Josh Koscheck via punches at Bellator 172 in February 2017. Not known as a finisher, Alonso’s TKO over Koscheck was his first since 2014. The win was also his first in Bellator. Thirty-one months later, Alonso (13-7 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) will return to Bellator when he takes on surging prospect Johnny Eblen (5-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) on the Bellator 229 prelims. Bellator 229 takes place Friday at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif.
