Ryan Bader only needed two punches to become the first two-division champion in Bellator MMA history.

Bader (27-5, 5-0 Bellator) concluded the promotion’s heavyweight grand prix in emphatic fashion in the Bellator 214 headliner, knockout out Fedor Emelianenko (38-6, 2-2 Bellator) in the evening’s headliner at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif. on Saturday night. The first punch to land — a lead left hook from Bader — sent “The Last Emperor” to the canvas instantly.
