The Bellator submission…

Lost in all the going ga-ga over Manny Pacquiao and his dominating performance against Ricky Hatton, may have been one of the most unique submissions in MMA history.
At the Bellator event last Friday in my old stomping grounds of Dayton, it was Jorge Masvidal vs. Toby Imada in the semifinals of lightweight tournament.
Masvidal was considered to be the heavy favorite not just in the semifinals but in the whole tournament.
And from all accounts, was winning his fight with Imada pretty handily.
And then this happened:
Seriously, don’t what else to say. It’s an inverted triangle choke, I guess. Unbelievable. Well, that’s one way for Bellator to try to make a name for itself.
Ratings have said to be great on ESPN Deportes so far for the five events. Bellator heads to Texas this week and Chicago next week.
Here in Oklahoma City, hoping the event returns when Jared Hess returns to the cage. He would have the decided home-cage advantage.
