Kelly’s return came after serving a six-year prison sentence for heroin trafficking, which began when he was found guilty in 2013. Now a free man, the 35-year-old Brit affectionately known as “Tellys” returned to action in his hometown of Liverpool, England, and defeated Simone Bottino with heavy ground-and-pound in the second round of the night’s main event. Kelly (15-5) started out in typically aggressive fashion as he threw big punches at Bottino (4-7), then attempted to lock up a guillotine when the Italian tried to shoot his way out of danger. Kelly then took his man powerfully to the mat, moved to half-guard, and roughed him up with punches and elbows before moving into full mount and unloading more powerful ground strikes.
