Brett Cooper had a rough night at Bellator 44 against Alexander Schlemenko, a man who previously made it to the finals of the company's middleweight tournament to fight champion Hector Lombard. Cooper showed no fear and went toe to toe with the powerful Russian and slugged it out only to lose a decision after three hellacious rounds. The Fight Nerd spoke with Cooper after his fight to check on his war wounds, talk about what went wrong, and what is next for him.
