New Bellator Champion Crowned At Bellator 200: Mousasi, MVP, Phil Davis, Chalmers Win
Gegard Mousasi stopped the middleweight reign of terror of Rafael Carvalho, but he wasn't the only fighter that impressed at Bellator 200 on Friday night.
The former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Mousasi emerged victorious against his main event opponent on Friday night, stopped the champion Rafael Carvalho in only three and a half minutes via TKO. Carvalho was looking to tie Joe Warren's record of successful title defenses in Bellator with three.
Mousasi wasn't alone in marquee success. Human highlight reel Michael "Venom" Page, now 31 years old, is no longer the 25-year old prospect who burst onto the scene six years ago. He's now 13-0 after defeating his biggest challenge in David Rickels after taking a year and a half off from MMA to pursue his boxing debut.
Georgie Shore cast member Aaron Chalmers overcame early adversity to defeat his opponent Ash Griffiths via impressive guillotine choke in his Bellator debut. Former Bellator Light Heavyweight Champion Phil Davis also improved upon his resume with a head kick knockout in the third round of a former title challenger in Linton Vassell.
