Archie Colgan planning to stay at lightweight despite tough cut ahead of Bellator 288

CHICAGO – Archie Colgan came to his post-fight news conference, but had to rewatch his fight before he stepped to the podium.

It happened fast enough that he hardly remembered what happened. Colgan (5-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) stopped Jesse Hannam (2-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) with a first-round knockout in just 50 seconds. It was his first fight at lightweight after fighting at welterweight to open his MMA career.

He said he isn’t ready to turn around that quickly, given the harder weight cut now, but said he’s comfortable moving ahead at lightweight after his big performance on the Bellator 288 preliminary card at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
