Kendall Grove scored a crushing knockout win on Friday’s Bellator 150 main card. It was a nice distraction after such a rough month on the personal front.
Grove (23-15 MMA, 4-2 BMMA), a former UFC fighter who won “The Ultimate Fighter 3” in 2006, fought for the first time since losing his brother in a motorcycle accident. His win over fellow middleweight Francisco France (13-4-1 MMA, 1-1 BMMA), which aired on Spike from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kan., was dedicated to his sibling’s memory.
Check out the highlights above.
They also include Cheick Kongo (23-10-2 MMA, 6-2 BMMA) narrowly defeating Vinicius Queiroz (8-4 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) in the heavyweight headliner, David Rickels (17-4 MMA, 11-4 BMMA) battering Bobby Cooper (12-6 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) with knees in the lightweight co-headliner, Chuka Willis (7-2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) topping previously unbeaten Gaston Reyno (5-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) in a featherweight fight, and flyweight Rebecca Ruth (6-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) showing off her striking in a solid win over Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4 MMA, 0-1 BMMA).
