Johnny Eblen dethroned Gegard Mousasi in a shockingly one-sided performance at Bellator 282 this past Friday. But for Eblen and the rest of American Top Team (ATT), it was not shocking at all.
The ‘Human Cheat Code’ dominated the ‘Dreamcatcher’ in every department, outstriking and outwrestling the former Bellator middleweight champion for a clean sweep on the judges’ scorecards. The outcome was expected by Eblen, who previously said that he wouldn’t be ‘shocking the world’ when he dethroned Mousasi. So when he heard “And New,” it sounded and felt right.
“Expected,” said Eblen during his post-fight press conference (video provided by MMA Fighting).
