Bellator 256 results: Cat Zingano shows slick ground game in armbar submission win

BAD MMA News — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 02:38:21 +0000

Cat Zingano is on a roll in Bellator and looking for gold. Zingano, a former UFC bantamweight title challenger, picked up her second promotional win in as many fights Saturday night, submitting Olivia Parker with an armbar at Bellator 256. The finish came at the 2:56 mark of the first round. Zingano (12-4 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) didn’t waste time looking to take the fight to the mat, shooting for a takedown after throwing a head kick in the opening 10 seconds. After some clinch work against the cage, she eventually got Parker (4-2 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) down and immediately started to display a slick ground game. Zingano transitioned from taking Parker’s back to securing full mount to securing her back again before Parker managed to reverse the position

Olivia Parker was 32 and 325 pounds when she somewhat accidentally ended up at Knoxville Martial Arts Academy. Parker had enrolled in a local weight loss program called “Get Fit Seymour,” which required its participants to work out at least once a week. When she got to the class she was supposed to attend that Thursday, however, she realized it was full. She had to find something else to do that very night, or she would be kicked off the program. Then she saw a kickboxing class on the schedule
