Pat Downey ’s MMA debut Saturday was years in the making – and it only lasted 36 seconds. At Bellator 284 , Downey (1-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) ran through opponent Keyes Nelson (0-4 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) in a 36-second submission victory. The event took place Saturday at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D. Downey, a former NCAA Division I All-American wrestler, went for the takedown immediately at the start of the fight. Two double underhooks later, he secured a grip and dumped Nelson to the canvas. After a few seconds in side control, Downey powerfully tore into the mount position.
