Bellator 149 did not finish without controversy. Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock, who first had their first fight over Twenty years ago met tonight to finally settle a score. Unfortunately the light heavyweight bout didn’t end without controversy.
Shamrock was on the receiving end of an errant knee to the groin. Unfortunately for Shamrock the referee didn’t see it. While Shamrock fell over from the groin shot, Gracie began pounding on Shamrock with several hammer fists until the fight was stopped at the 2:22 mark of the first round.
Unfortunately the co-headliner was not any better. Kimbo Slice defeated Dada 5000 by TKO at the 1:32 mark on the 3rd round, but looked very unimpressive doing it. While watching the bout on the Spike broadcast you can clearly hear the crowd at the Toyota Center in Houston displaying their displeasure by booing several times during the bout. Both Kimbo and Dada were clearly exhausted since the first round.
