You could hardly script a better night for Bellator when it comes to Bellator 198.
With a lineup of prospects impressively passing their tests and a red-hot crowd being treated to a sub-minute fight between two heavyweight legends that took away any risk of looking like a battle of well past-their-prime big men, the results were perfect.
Four of the five main card fights ended in the first round, with the lone fight to go past five minutes of action coming to a decisive end in the second.
That’s the kind of breezy MMA telecast that’s easy on the fans — and especially easy on a live blogger.
