Kyle Crutchmer Falls for First Time in MMA Career at Bellator 249

Kyle Crutchmer, the former Oklahoma State wrestler and two-time All-American, fought his seventh MMA fight on Thursday at Bellator 249.

Crutchmer took on Kemran Lachinov, a 9-2 welterweight fighter out of Springfield, Massachusetts.

The fight as a whole was pretty even. The first round I had for Crutchmer. There were some good exchanges from both fighters, but Crutchmer had a lot of energy early. He landed a big head kick to start the fight and finished off the round with this takedown.

The second and third rounds were close.
