Filed under: Bellator , Featured , News , Videos It doesn’t get much more lopsided than the Bellator 171 main event on Friday night. Chidi Njokuani (17-4 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) dominated Melvin Guillard (32-17-2 MMA, 0-3 BMMA) in a bizarre 180-pound catchweight fight. Njokuani’s unanimous decision win – he picked up a trio of 10-8 rounds from one judge for a 30-24 and also got a 30-25 and 30-26 – dropped Guillard to 0-4 with Bellator in what may have been his last shot with the promotion. Bellator 171 took place at Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kan. The main card aired on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie
