Awad (21-9 MMA, 9-6 BMMA) stopped Zach Freeman (9-3 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) just 67 seconds into the first round with a two-punch TKO courtesy of a pair of right hands that appeared to be merely glancing blows, but were enough to put Freeman on the canvas and get referee Keith Peterson to shut things down. The lightweight bout opened up the main card of today’s Bellator 186 event at Bryce Jordan Center on Penn State’s campus in University Park, Pa. It aired on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie. Related Tywan Claxton's massive flying-knee KO emphatically announced his arrival to Bellator Awad tried a low kick 25 seconds in, and Freeman answered with one of his own seconds later.
