Bellator 147 results recap, video highlights for 'Thomson vs Villaseca'

Bellator 147: "Thomson vs. Villaseca" took place tonight (Fri., Dec. 4, 2015) inside Event Center Arena in San Jose, Calif., streaming live on Spike TV."

The main event featured San Jose native Josh 'The Punk' Thomson going for consecutive wins in his hometown since signing with Bellator, coming off a third round submission of Mike Bronzoulis at Bellator 142.

Did the local favorite make it two in a row against Pablo Villaseca, or did the younger man 'Punk' out Thomson?

Was there ever any doubt?

Thomson emerged triumphant with superior wrestling technique which put him in good positions to use his jiu-jitsu, particularly when Villaseca tried a sweep in round one.
