Kastriot Xhema got Albert Gonzales in a deep armbar during the closing seconds of the second round in the evening’s first bout in Uncasville, Conn. As the seconds wound down. Xhema (3-5 MMA, 3-5 BMMA) cranked the armbar tighter. Gonzales (2-2 MMA, 1-1 BMMA), for his part, never tapped, whether it was a matter of trying to ride out to the end of the round, or whether he literally wasn’t in a position to make the actual tap. Either way, Gonzales’ right elbow dislocated, the round ended, and with that, the end of the fight, because surely no competitor was going to continue with an obvious arm break.

Loureda was originally expected to face Anastasia Bruce (0-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) at the previous night’s Bellator 215 fight card, which takes place at the same venue.
