Bellator 206 Post-Mortem: Superfight Smackdown

Reigning Bellator MMA middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi took on reigning welterweight champion Rory MacDonald in a main event superfight at Bellator 206 on Saturday at the SAP Center in San Jose, California. There, Mousasi proved that sometimes size does matter, as he took out MacDonald with mounted ground-and-pound in the second round and looked outright dominant in doing so.

Round 1 of the contest began with Mousasi immediately taking the center of the cage, looking to probe MacDonald with a piston-like jab that proved to be the story of the opening five minutes.
