When you have an All-American wrestler in Logan Storley and a decorated jiu-jitsu black belt in Neiman Gracie, of course you’ll have a fight contested almost entirely on the feet in Bellator’s first five-round, non-title main event.
In a glorified kickboxing match at Bellator 274 in Uncasville, CT, Storley prevailed by unanimous decision over Gracie in a bout that started pretty tamely and then went completely chaotic in the fourth round.
Storley had the upper hand in the striking department over three rounds, landing the cleaner and more damaging shots. Gracie had his moments but it looked evident that Storley was faster and throwing with more conviction in his shots.
