In our latest Best of Bellator Video installment, we look back at a Bellator 43 fight between former WEC champ Chase Beebe and Jose Vega.

Prior to each new event, Bellator Fighting Championships and MMAjunkie.com dig into the video archives for a classic fight.

Beebe, of course, competes Saturday at Bellator 51 in the opening round of the season-five bantamweight tournament. In this fight, we see how he earned his tourney berth.

Although launched in 2009, Bellator has promoted dozens of events and hundreds of fights. We seek out some of the best for our weekly Best of Bellator Video series.

Back in April, Beebe (17-7 at the time) looked for his fourth straight victory and sixth win in seven fights. Bellator 43 was the promotional debut of the fighter, who was just 21 when he won the WEC's 135-pound title. Against the well-rounded Vega (9-4), who scored a memorable KO of Jarrod Card at Bellator 22, he fought for a chance to compete in Bellator's first-ever bantamweight tournament.
