UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Jake Hager plays the role of the bad guy on TNT’s popular “All Elite Wrestling” series, and his real fight on Friday night only served to enhance his heel status. At Bellator 231, Hager (2-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) faced off with his most experienced opponent to date Anthony Garrett (4-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA). The fight was halted at 1:56 of the first round and declared a no contest after back-to-back low blows by Hager. After absorbing the highest volume of punches in his career in the opening minute, Hager landed a low blow knee in the clinch on Garrett. Referee Dan Miragliotta called timeout and gave Garrett appropriate time to recuperate.
