Alessio Sakara was not messing around Saturday night in Milan. Though it only lasted 23 seconds, the popular Italian fighter put on quite the show for his home country fans by destroying Canaan Grigsby with leg kicks and a flurry of punches. Canaan came out throwing a leg kick that only seemed to anger Sakara, who retaliated with one of his own, and then another one before letting his hands go. All Canaan could do was cover up as Sakara’s punches came in quick succession, but Sakara measured a perfect body shot that crumpled Grigsby to the canvas. It was all over a moment later

Bellator Europe 5 results: Melvin Manhoef rolls to first-round finish, ponders future

BAD MMA News — Sat, 12 Oct 2019 22:17:48 +0000

If this is it for Melvin Manhoef , what a way to finish. Manhoef, the 43-year-old ageless wonder, was victorious Saturday night, defeating Yannick Bahati by first-round TKO in the Bellator Europe 5 main event at Allianz Cloud in Milan. As has been the norm, Manhoef entered the bout with plenty working against him. Bahati, 29, was 14 years younger, 6 inches taller and possessed a 7-inch reach advantage. But none of that mattered once Manhoef (31-14-1 MMA, 4-3 BMMA) threw a hard right hand straight down the pipe. It wasn’t so much that the punch landed flush as it simply landed with enough force while Bahati (9-4 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) threw a kick, catching him off balance and dropping him to the mat.
