Bellator 175 took place last night and we’ve got all the results for you below.
In the main event of the evening, Muhammed ‘King Mo’ Lawal evened the score with his rival Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson by earning a unanimous decision victory in what proved to be a tepid rematch.
‘Rampage’ had come in to the bout at a career-high 253lbs and ‘King Mo’ did his best to wear him out, controlling the action in the opening round with clinch work and brief takedowns.
having to contend with that 41lb weight difference appeared to tire ‘King Mo’ however, and in the second round ‘Rampage’ was able to land some hard shots that brought him back into the fight.
‘Rampage’ became increasingly lethargic in the third round however, while ‘King Mo’ caught his second wind and was able to get back to grinding down his opponent and also landed some solid strikes to win the round and ensure he’d emerge victorious on the scorecards.
Earlier in the evening Emmanuel Sanchez was able to claim a clean sweep from the judges (30-27 x3) in his fight with Marcos Galvao, while Sergei Kharitonov earned his first win in Bellator with a walk-off uppercut knockout against Chase Gormley in the first round.
