Chin Check - 170 (Recap)
'iKON' kicked off their year in style Friday night. Seven fights, six finishes, and the fight that went the distance was a dominant performance.
Two fighters that wanted to get things taken care of quickly were Pete Rodriguez and Elvin Espinoza. Who were both out of the ring in under a minute!
Abigail Montes (who got the night up and running) and Claudia Zamora both gained their second career victories, with controlled, one sided showings. Montes ended things in the second, and Zamora ended things halfway through the first.
She came in the game as kickboxer, but Isis Verbeek got her first submission win.
And in the Co-main Chris Curtis used brutal ground & pound to wrap things up.
The night ended with a dominant, one sided showing from Brok Weaver, who let Dana know, in two more fights, he's gonna show & prove himself into a new contract!
We THEN had 'Bellator's' first card of the year, in '255'.
Usman Nurmagomedov didn't come out unscathed, but he did have a successful debut.
And in a rematch full to the brim with bad blood, Tyrell Fortune made the outcome undeniable with ferocious intent.
In the Co-main Jason Jackson pulled off the BIG win over Neiman Gracie. Fight came down to the third round and Jackson showed he wanted it more.
AND in the Main event, Patricio Freire not only became the first man to stop Emmanuel Sanchez BUT, he has now also reached the final of the 'Featherweight World Grand Prix'.
So, let's break it all down, in today's (ep 170) @ChinCheckPod
