Ringing Paul Daley Uppercut KOs Andy Uhrich in Bellator 148 Main Event

Andy Uhrich had nothing to lose, except for consciousness.

Former Cage Rage champion Paul Daley knocked out Urich with a crushing right uppercut in the Bellator 148 headliner on Friday at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. Daley (38-13-2, 4-0 Bellator) drew the curtain 2:00 into round one. No follow-up punches were necessary.

Once his bids for takedowns failed, Uhrich (11-6, 1-3 Bellator) was a sitting duck. Daley cornered the Titan Fighting Championships veteran against the cage, fired a straight right, a left hook and reset. The 32-year-old then closed the distance again, drew Uhrich’s hands out of place with a pawing left hook and connected with a crushing right uppercut for the knockout.
