On Friday night, Bellator held one of their biggest events of the year — an event that would have been even bigger had “Baby Slice” Kevin Ferguson Jr.’s pro debut not gotten scrapped — live on Spike from the Honda Center in Anaheim. Here are the full results.
Main Card
— In the lightweight main event, a very slow, methodical start between Benson Henderson and Patricio “Pitbull” Freire then ended abruptly when Pitbull broke his shin, finishing off the evening with an unfortunately sour and anticlimactic note. The official decision was a Henderson win via TKO (leg injury) in Round 2.
