Filed under: Bellator , Featured , Featured Videos , News , Videos Kendall Grove scored a crushing knockout win on Friday’s Bellator 150 main card. It was a nice distraction after such a rough month on the personal front. Grove (23-15 MMA, 4-2 BMMA), a former UFC fighter who won “The Ultimate Fighter 3” in 2006, fought for the first time since losing his brother in a motorcycle accident. His win over fellow middleweight Francisco France (13-4-1 MMA, 1-1 BMMA), which aired on Spike from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kan., was dedicated to his sibling’s memory. Check out the highlights above. They also include Cheick Kongo (23-10-2 MMA, 6-2 BMMA) narrowly defeating Vinicius Queiroz (8-4 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) in the heavyweight headliner, David Rickels (17-4 MMA, 11-4 BMMA) battering Bobby Cooper (12-6 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) with knees in the lightweight co-headliner, Chuka Willis (7-2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) topping previously unbeaten Gaston Reyno (5-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) in a featherweight fight, and flyweight Rebecca Ruth (6-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) showing off her striking in a solid win over Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4 MMA, 0-1 BMMA)

Bellator 150 results: Cheick Kongo edges ugly split decision over Vinicius Queiroz

BAD MMA News — Sat, 27 Feb 2016 04:43:54 +0000

Cheick Kongo and Vinicius Queiroz Cheick Kongo rarely makes it pretty, but the veteran was able to edge out an often ugly decision over Vinicius Queiroz in the main event of Bellator 150. Bellator 150 took place at Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kan. The main card aired on Spike following preliminary bouts on MMAjunkie. The two heavyweights fought at a measured pace in Round 1. Both men attempted to establish range early, but it was the leg kicks of Kongo (23-10-2 MMA, 6-2 BMMA) – mostly unchecked by Queiroz (8-4 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) – that were the most effective tools utilized in the opening frame
