Following Friday’s Bellator 210 event in Thackerville, Okla., several of the winning and losing fighters, along with their coaches, training partners or family members, took to social media to react to the event or share a message with supporters.

Bellator 210 video highlights: Watch John Salter keep his perfect stoppage streak intact

BAD MMA News — Sun, 02 Dec 2018 15:11:29 +0000

John Salter had a pretty phenomenal streak going into Bellator 210 this past Friday night, and he kept it intact. In 15 wins heading into the card, Salter (16-4 MMA, 6-1 BMMA) had 15 finishes. So really, when he submitted Chidi Njokuani (18-6 MMA, 5-2 BMMA) with a rear-naked choke in the first round in his first Bellator main event, it was par for the course. It gave Salter nine career submissions to go with his seven knockouts. (It should be noted, as well, that Salter never has gone the distance in any of his fights – not only are his 16 wins all finishes, but his four losses have been stoppages, as well.
