WATCH: The Entire Bellator 225 Fight Card
Back in 2019, Bellator MMA put on one of the best cards in MMA history. All fourteen fights ended via submission, TKO or knockout, with no decision from the judges.
With sports at a halt as a result of the coronavirus, Bellator is looking to provide some entertainment to the masses. The event took place inside the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut on August 24, one of the few times a show didn’t emanate from the Mohegan Sun Casino. Fans were able to see the Bellator debut of Nick Newell, Tyrell Fortune and Alejandra Lara inserting themselves as contenders and a Bellator 215 rematch between Sergei Kharitonov and Matt Mitrione.
