Leslie Smith not happy with Bellator talent
Before her Bellator featherweight title match against Cris Cyborg at Bellator 259, Leslie Smith was ready to fight another member of the Bellator roster. She was not happy that someone messed up the schedule of the female fighters by being late. There is no word yet who this fighter could be.
Being on a card with 8 other women that need their hair braided and showing up an hour and a half late, screwing the fighters scheduled after, is not the path to becoming a icon #dobetter
