Bellator 104 video highlights: Ron Keslar chokes out War Machine

The Bellator 9 season welterweight tournament has its finalists, and one of them isn’t a fighter who MMA fans seem to love to hate.

In the co-headliner of Friday’s Bellator 104 event at U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Ron Keslar pulled off the upset and choked out a bloody War Machine, who refused to tap out and ultimately went unconscious in the Spike TV-televised co-headliner.

In addition to Keslar, the tourney final will include Rick Hawn. In the night’s headliner, the Olympic judoka showed off his steadily improving striking skills and out-struck Brent Weedman to claim a unanimous-decision victory.

Also on the card, UFC vet Kendall Grove scored a decision victory over Joe Vedepo, and Peter Graham used a nifty front kick to help carry him to a win over fellow heavyweight Eric Prindle.
