Bellator Dynamite Judo Chop: Emanuel Newton's Cakewalk

Bloody Elbow's striking specialist Connor Ruebusch breaks down Bellator Dynamite's Emanuel Newton, whose moves are a great deal slicker than they may appear.

The light heavyweight division is a weird place. It's undisputed number one fighter is currently out of competition for an as-yet-undetermined amount of time. The most prestigious title in the class is held by the undisputed number two fighter, and he's about to fight a man whose last performance was a loss to the third best man in the division, who just failed in his own title bid. Ryan Bader's floating around, too. Light heavyweight is also odd in that, unlike most other divisions in MMA, a significant portion of its best talent is currently competing outside the UFC.
