The Kansas Star Arena played host to Bellator 171 as the main even witnessed Chidi Njokuani in a dominant three-round blowout of Melvin Guillard. The co-main event on the night saw Kansas’ own David Rickels put a one-sided beating on Aaron Derrow to ultimately find the finish in the third round.
Njokuani took the center of the cage, using his kicks to keep Guillard at range. After a bit of measuring, Big John halts the bout to demand action from both fighters. Guillard landed a knee to the groin of Njokuani, which caused a pause in the action.
