Ben Reiner spoke with MMAjunkie about his fight with A.J. Matthews at Bellator 156. Some highlights are below:

On the difficulty of finding sparring partners: “It’s a little bit tougher for my weight class, as there’s not as many guys in my weight class.”

On his potential and setbacks: “Sometimes, there’s speed bumps in this sport, but I know I have a lot of potential, and I’m capable of doing big things in this sport.”

On his fight with Matthews: “I just need to go in there and dominate. I know A.J.’s a tough fighter, but I feel like I really have what it takes to set the pace in the fight and show the difference.”
