Paul Craig vs. Rodolfo Bellato was ruled a no-contest at UFC Atlanta after ‘Bearjew’ landed an illegal kick late in the first round.

Craig got his kicking game off to an early start while Bellato stalked forward, looking to pump his jab and land combinations. With 90 seconds to go in the first, Craig shot in for his first takedown attempt, but failed to get his opponent on the mat. He immediately shot in for another takedown, but this time, Bellato ended up on top.
