Last nights Bellator 198 main event was extremely exciting and fun for the short amount of time it lasted, both guys rocked each other and Fedor got the TKO finish all in just 48 seconds.

Both guys came out of the gate at full speed and started throwing bombs instantly, Mir lands a big punch that seems to rock Emelianenko and sends him backing up the fence. Mir followed him to the fence and started to land some clean shots in the clinch, Fedor then lands a beautiful hip toss and both guys then scrambled to their feet as fast as possible, Mir then lunged forward and was caught with a left hook from Fedor which dropped him instantly, Fedor pounced and secured the TKO victory 48 seconds into round number 1.

Full fight (with walkouts)

Fedor will now advance to the semi finals of the Heavyweight Grand prix and will face Chael Sonnen next, which is mental.

I never thought I would see them two fight and have never really thought about it either to be honest, but the more I think about, I think it's going to be a great fight.

Bellator is really heating up lately and I'm really enjoying the heavyweight tournament so far, I'm looking forward to the future of Bellators Heavyweight division, it could become the best big boy division in MMA today, obviously some work still needs to be done, but they are on the right path for sure.

It was a great card last night with lots of fun fights, it was a night where Jujitsu shined as there was submission stoppage after submission stoppage. I'll leave the full card highlights below.
