Combat Sports Bonanza Wrap-Up for Bellator, UFC, Finishers, BJJ Stars & GrappleFest: Santos Ko's, Erberth Berzerks, Craig Jones Finishes Arges...

Busy, busy, busy...too much to see it all without playing catch-up this afternoon and evening:


Bellator:
James Gallagher tapped out a fighter who how do I say this....... I will say looked suspiciously fake as he ran across the cage, tackled his opponent, the guy fends off the choke, looks like he'll clear the body triangle but doesn't...then looks into the elbow point and the choke finishes. Sigh. I'm sure the convo was "yo, we'll fly you out to Ireland, kick it for a week, have some Guinness, and we'll promise you 2 more Bellator fights down the road, buddy."

Grapplefest:
Anyway, Craig Jones passed Arges' guard and took his back, proving he could hang in other facets of the game rather than finishing with a leg lock. Lachlan Giles picked up a heel hook win. Ffion Davies won by RNC.

UFC:
UFC Prague happened with Santos unloading literally all kinds of stuff but also a more tactical approach at times, and getting the 3rd round finish.

Finishers Sub Only:
The Pro event took place today with Keith Krikorian locking it up and taking home the now top tier pure EBI format sub grappling event on the East Coast.

BJJ Stars:
The fact that Rocha beat Buchecha will be totally outshined or well, rather, overshadowed by the crowd/brawl/melee that Erberth Santos incited by attacking Pena compatriots not once...but twice. Meregali overcame an unsportsmanlike shove at the weigh-ins by increasingly erratically behaving Leandro Lo (steroids maybe giving him anger control issues? Nah, couldn't be, not in JiuJitsu) and passed Leandro to force him to turtle in the waning seconds and took the back to win 4-0.

Other Results:
Roberto Godoi def Renato Babalu Sobral via points 2-0
Marco Barbosa def Wellington (Megaton) Dias via points 2-0
