Bellator 162: "Shlemenko vs. Grove" came to FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tenn., last night (Fri., Oct. 21, 2016) live on Spike TV. The card was headlined by two key fights at middleweight and heavyweight.
Former TUF winner Kendall "Da Spyder" Grove was on a two fight win streak in Bellator (both coming by knockout) coming into the main event, but former champion Alexander "Storm" Shlemenko had something to prove after over a year away. Who would prevail in this epic clash?
The first round saw both men have their moments, each scoring hard blows to the head, though Shlemenko arguably won more of the exchanges.
