Bellator 214 results: Jesse Roberts beats A.J. Agazarm by split decision
Esther Lin, MMA FightingINGLEWOOD, Calif. — That long list of A-list, blue-chip prospects Bellator has compiled over the past few years? Let’s hold off awhile before we include A.J. Agazarm.
The much-hyped jiu-jitsu standout and former Ohio State wrestling great made his pro mixed martial arts debut on Saturday night at Bellator 214, and the matchup didn’t exactly set the world afire.
Agazarm and Jesse Roberts fought for 15 minutes in a 160-pound catchweight bout, and while both were inexperienced, Roberts simply fought like he wanted it more, and that was enough to earn a split-decision victory, getting the better end of 29-28 scores.
