Davion Franklin def. Ras Hylton by technical decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Well, it wasn’t a low blow but Bellator’s woes continue as another fight ends via illegal strikes. Franklin whooped on Hylton for three rounds; however, things ended prematurely due to an illegal shot to the back of the head. The shot was ruled accidental and so the fight concluded early and went to a technical decision.
