There are tiers to fighting. At Bellator 275, Gegard Mousasi proved Austin Vanderford is not quite geared up to take the leap to the championship level.
During Friday’s headliner at 3Arena in Dublin, Mousasi (forty nine-7-2 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) defeated Vanderford (eleven-1 MMA, five-1 BMMA) thru TKO at 1:25 of Round 1 to effectively guard his Bellator middleweight championship.
From the get-cross, Mousasi showed to be the more technical and correct striker. The first large shot Mousasi landed harm Vanderford, who in no way regarded to fully recover. Patient but competitive, Mousasi calculatedly picked apart Vanderford till the formerly-undefeated American shot for a takedown.
The attempt to drag the combat to the ground changed into unsuccessful. Mousasi powerfully stuffed Vanderford, who protected up. Mousasi rained down hellacious moves till referee Kerry Hatley dove in. Vanderford rolled over and clutched his left shoulder, which seemed to be injured due to Mousasi’s difficult sprawl.
