Saturday’s Bellator 199 main card brought the thunder – from two veterans and one of the sport’s most highly touted prospects. In the main event, light-heavyweight champion Ryan Bader (25-5 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) punched his ticket to the semifinals of Bellator’s heavyweight grand prix and took a step closer to the vacant heavyweight title with a quick 15-second knockout of Muhammed Lawal (21-7 MMA, 10-6 BMMA) that took just once punch.
