Bellator 221 results and highlights: Hager submits Jones, Claxton dominates Bennett

The Bellator 221: Chandler vs. Pitbull main card kicked off with undefeated featherweight prospect Tywan Claxton extending his record to 5-0, as he beat a tough but very overmatched James Bennett by third-round TKO. Following that up was Jake Hager, aka former WWE star Jack Swagger, winning his second professional MMA fight by easily submitting the uh... existing T.J. Jones, who sure soaked up the spotlight while serving as Hager’s personal grappling dummy. The beef plant worker was choked out by Hager, who didn’t let the submission go immediately after Jones tapped.

Here’s how the fights played out.
