Bellator Fighting Championships

Goldsby upset WEC veteran Jeff Curran in his Bellator debut. That win earned him a spot in the Bellator Fighting Championships: Season Three Bantamweight Tournament.[3] He lost to Ed West in the Bantamweight Quarterfinals at Bellator 27 on September 2, 2010.[4] Goldsby replaced injured Ulysses Gomez in the semifinals where he fought Zach Makovsky at Bellator 30.[5] Goldsby lost for the second time in the Bellator Bantamweight Tournament to Makovsky who would go on to win the first ever Bellator Bantamweight Championships. At Bellator 52, Goldsby lost his third consecutive fight in the organization to Genair da Silva, and was released from the promotion shortly afterwards.
