It didn’t take long for Bobby Lashley to show exactly what he wanted to do on Saturday night. Lashley shot for a takedown 12 seconds into his main event fight against Matthew Larson at “Global Warrior Challenge: British Invasion.” He worked at it and finally secured it 35 seconds in. But though Larson popped back up quickly, he soon was back down, and with authority. Lashley slammed Larson to the canvas, then went to work with ground-and-pound, fended off a Larson kimura attempt, took his opponent’s back and secured a fairly easy rear-naked choke to end the fight in 98 seconds.
