When Pat Curran signed with Bellator MMA in 2010, the promotion’s tournament format suited him perfectly. He advanced through the promotion’s Season 2 lightweight tournament, earning a title shot against Eddie Alvarez in April 2011. The 23-year-old Curran wasn’t quite ready for that stage and it showed, as he lost a one-sided unanimous decision. Two months later, Curran enlisted in Bellator’s featherweight tournament. Once again, he rattled off three consecutive wins to earn a title shot, this time against Joe Warren.
