SAN JOSE, Calif. – With a heavyweight title shot all but official, Linton Vassell gave credit to improvements in his mental game for what he thinks was the biggest win of his career. Vassell (24-8 MMA, 12-5 BMMA) had some early bumps in the road in his rematch with Valentin Moldavsky (11-3 MMA, 6-2 BMMA) at Bellator 292 this past Saturday at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. But instead of going into panic mode, he stayed calm and rallied for a big knockout win to avenge a past loss. “It didn’t start the way I expected at all,” Vassell told MMA Junkie at his post-fight news conference.
