UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Taylor Johnson took his Dana White’s Contender Series loss to Andre Muniz, slowed things down, and scored a quick-fire victory in his promotional debut at Bellator 245. Johnson (6-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) lost out to now-UFC prospect Muniz at the UFC Apex in August 2019, missing out on a shot at a UFC contract. But a Bellator offer came a few months later and, after his planned debut at Bellator 243 fell through, he made his bow inside the “FightSphere” on Friday night, as he scored an eye-catching first-round submission win over highly touted welterweight prospect Ed Ruth (8-3 MMA, 8-3 BMMA). Looking back on his performance, Johnson told reporters, including MMA Junkie, that his performance in the Contender Series taught him to stay calm and trust his skills ahead of his Bellator debut. “The Contender Series loss was just me getting a little too excited, wanting to get that contract,” he explained.
