Moves to 2-0 with dominant win at Bellator 194
Claxton defeated Jose Perez via TKO (punches) at 3:39 of Round 2 at Bellator 194 on Friday in Uncasville, Conn.
ANALYSIS
It was not as quick as his 89-second Bellator debut, but Claxton continued to look dominant in his budding career. The former NCAA Division I wrestler showed a well rounded game, but he did his best work from the top position. Claxton spent long portions of this fight in half guard throwing elbows. Perez did a solid job defending, but he was totally defensive and getting beat up. Towards the end of the second round, the referee stopped the bout due to an accumulation of strikes. It might not have been a highlight reel finish, but Claxton improved to 2-0 as a professional and showed off a different part of his game.
