Bellator 45 - Results and GIFs Posted by Zach | at 9:45 AM

So a great season of Bellator has come to an end. But don't fret, another season will return next month on June 25th as Bellator starts its 5th season. I'll miss watching these at home.

Light Heavyweight Title
Christian M'Pumbu def. Richard Hale by TKO (Unanswered Strikes 4:17, Round 3)

I had a feeling Christian would win this fight, and in the 1st round he dropped Richard Hale. However, Hale recovered, using his long legs to ward off his aggressor.

The rest of the fight (up to the end) was involving Hale being the aggressor. Christian had the definite advantage in the striking but seemed to be hesitant. However, he landed again in the 3rd round and would not be stopped this time.

Featherweight Final  
Patricio Pitbull def. Daniel Straus by Unanimous Decision [29-28, 30-27, 30-27] 


Again, Daniel Straus is known as one of those wrestler types that likes to grind out decisions. He even prides himself on the fact that he beats up guys for 3 rounds (and doesn't finish them.). Patricio is the opposite, he's a heavy-handed striker that hits like a car, along with having a black belt in BJJ. This fight mostly consisted of Patricio controlling the cage with his striking while stuffing Straus's takedowns.

Straus attempts a hip toss but Patricio gets up using the 'whizzer.'

 Middleweight Qualifier
Sam Alvey def. Karl Amoussou by Split Decision [29-28, 29-28, 29-28] 

Sam Alvey received a NASTY cut during the fight that was making him bleed like a stuck pig. Hope he had some health insurance for that!
