Bellator 233 saw thunderous knockouts, back-and-forth action, and a rough final outing for former Strikeforce champ King Mo Lawal.
John Salter earned a hard-fought win in the main event, King Mo was shocked and knocked out in his farewell fight, and Tyrell Fortune proved he’s the heavyweight of the future at Bellator 233. A lot of twists and turns played out on the four-fight main card, which also included Arlene Blencowe taking home a unanimous decision over the always tough Leslie Smith at featherweight.
Oh, and let’s not forget this little headkick doozy from Christian Edwards.
