Instead of allowing it to hinder her, though, the women’s flyweight prospect is using the outcome as motivation. After beginning her career with five consecutive wins, Yankova (5-1 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) got a stern step up in competition against Kate Jackson (10-3-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) at Friday’s Bellator 200 event, which took place at The SSE Arena in London and aired via tape-delay on Paramount. The Russian had no answers for her opponent’s grappling, and Jackson went on to win a unanimous decision on the cards. Related Kate Jackson says it was 'nice to derail the hype train' of Anastasia Yankova at Bellator 200 Whether justified or not, Yankova has received plenty of hype in her young career.

LONDON – Although all the talk prior to Bellator 200 revolved around Anastasia Yankova , her opponent Kate Jackson knew she would have the advantage on fight night.

The Brit, who was fighting on home soil, had too advanced a grappling arsenal for Yankova to handle
