Paul Bradley was fighting relatively well against Chris Honeycutt at Bellator 140 last July, but in the blink of an eye, the bout was over.
He wasn’t knocked out or submitted with something he didn’t see, however. What happened that night at Mohegan Sun was one of the most dreadful experiences a professional fighter can endure: the lousy no contest.
After an opening round that saw Bradley defend multiple takedown attempts, the San Diego fighter began landing some solid strikes on his feet in the second. He wasn’t on the verge of a stoppage, but Bradley had found his rhythm and appeared to seize control of the action.
