Firstly, Corey Anderson made quick work of Ryan Bader, knocking out the former champion in only 51 seconds at Bellator 268’s co-main event. Afterwards, Vadim Nemkov retained his belt by surviving a scary shot from Julius Anglickas in the first round, but then dominating his opponent on the ground until a kimura finish in the fourth.
On Twitter, MMA media and fighters reacted to the contests.
Nemkov vs. Anglickas
Anglickas rocked Nemkov early. But Nemkov weathers the storm with a takedown. That looked dicey dicey!
