Tywan Claxton barely broke a sweat.
The onetime Strong Style Fight Team representative kept his perfect professional record intact and checked another box on his Bellator MMA resume, as he put away Kaeo Meyer with punches in the first round of their preliminary catchweight clash at Bellator 212 on Friday at the Neil S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu. Claxton (4-0, 4-0 Bellator) sealed the deal 2:56 into Round 1.
Meyer (3-4, 0-1 Bellator) was a step behind. Claxton delivered an inside trip takedown, set up shop in half guard and applied his ground-and-pound.
