Bellator made its latest overseas stop on Saturday with Bellator London, which took place at The SSE Arena.
Rafael Lovato Jr. pulled off the upset in the main event as he won a majority decision to take the title from Gegard Mousasi.
By the thinnest of margins Lovato became the new champion (47-47, 48-47 and 48-47) for a majority decision. Lovato was crying as he spoke to Josh Thomson afterward. He would give Mousasi an immediate rematch if that’s the direction Bellator wants to go, but first the BJJ specialist needs some time off.
