INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Ryan Bader (27-5 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) is now the first man in Bellator history to simultaneously carry title in two divisions after a devastating finish of Fedor Emelianenko (38-6 MMA, 2-2 BMMA).

The heavyweight title bout and heavyweight grand prix final was the main event of today’s Bellator 214 show at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. It aired on Paramount and streamed on DAZN following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Emelianenko moved quickly to the center at the start of the fight, his right hand cocked and ready to fire. Bader was light on his feet, moving in and out of range, waiting for an opportunity to attack. When that moment presented itself, Bader leapt forward with a devastating left hand that sent Emelianenko crashing to the floor. While the bout was essentially over with the first shot, Bader finished with a pinpoint right hand and a few follow-up hammerfists before referee Mike Beltran could intervene at the 35-second mark of the opening round.
