The Bellator MMA cage was at the Mohegan Sunlight Arena in Uncasville, Conn., on Friday for Bellator 244: Bader vs. Nemkov, headlined by the gentle heavyweight title combat concerning twin-division winner Ryan Bader and Vadim Nemkov.

Bader held both the Bellator MMA heavyweight and light heavyweight titles coming into the battle. He captured the 205-pound championship in June 2017 by defeating Phil Davis and acquired the heavyweight title in January 2019 by knocking out Fedor Emelianenko in 35 seconds.

After Friday’s fights, Bader is down to one belt. Nemkov brutally stopped Bader in the second spherical of the primary event in a battle that should have been stopped sooner.
