If you’ve been paying attention to Bellator over the last few months, you’ve probably noticed that Chris Pratt, the star of Hollywood blockbusters like Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em> and Jurassic World<\/em>, has become a regular fixture at their shows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At last weekend’s Bellator 214 show, however, Chris Pratt was more than just a member of the audience. He was in the building to support Adel Altamimi, who battled Brandon McMahan on the main card. In fact, as a friend and training partner of Altamimi, Pratt even served as one of the fighter’s cornermen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post-fight, Altamimi detailed his training with the Hollywood superstar Chris Pratt. Apparently, Pratt is actually quite a force in the gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s really good,\u201d Altamimi said of the actor (via MMAjunkie<\/a>). \u201cHe has really good wrestling \u2013 he has a background in wrestling in high school. The guy has really good experience wrestling, and I work with him a lot with striking and I train him in striking. We roll a lot. He likes to roll, and he\u2019s strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was trying to warm up with him (before the fight) and I was like, \u2018I want another guy\u2019 because he\u2019s heavy. He has really strong hips. I know he\u2019s a really famous actor, but he trains every day. This guy is always training. He\u2019s very, very strong. He comes to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end Adel Altamimi defeated his Bellator 214 opponent McMahan by armbar in just 76 seconds, which is more or less what he promised Chris Pratt he’d do as they warmed up for the fight backstage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBack in the room, I was warming up and getting ready and I told him, \u2018I promise you, I\u2019m going to finish it in less than a minute,’\u201d Altamimi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told him, I promised him it would be in the first round,\u201d Altamimi said. \u201cThat\u2019s how I am: I go to finish the fight. If you see all my fights, I don\u2019t go to the second round. I go to kill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you think we’ll ever see Chris Pratt testing his mettle in the cage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
