Brent Primus encountered some early trouble from Tim Wilde in the Bellator Birmingham main event before he adventurously finished the British lightweight with a rare gogoplata in the first-round.
Wilde caught the former champion off balance with a right hand, sending him to the canvas in the early exchanges. Shortly after chasing Primus the ground, Wilde found himself trying to remove the American’s foot from his neck. Although he tried to get free, Primus forcefully held him in the position before he signalled defeat by tapping.
Following the win, Primus called for a trilogy bout with Michael Chandler.
