MMA Fighter Pat Curran Stands One Win Away from Realizing his Dream

Bellator Season 5 Featherweight Tournament winner Pat Curran stands one win away from realizing his dream.

After a brilliant 3-0 tournament run, it was a lightning-fast kick to the head of Marlon Sandro in the final that propelled the 24-year-old rising super star from top prospect to top contender (Watch Here: http://bit.ly/qKvQ5m).
