The Beyond the Octagon jet-setting continues as we take a look at Russian promotion Plotforma S-70 and the monster card they put together for last Saturday, which featured a healthy dose of former UFC and Bellator talent.
In the night's co-main event, Dennis Hallman (53-19-2, 4-5 UFC, 2-0 Strikeforce, 2-1 IFL) moved up to middleweight for a bout with Mikhail Kolobegov.
Against the larger, comparatively comfortable Kolobegov, Hallman appeared uneasy, hesitant, and weighed down by the four losses hanging over his head. There would be no time to shake it off, as shortly after the the opening bell, a flying knee and uppercut from the Russian left Hallman on the mat, scrambling to regain some semblance of control.
