Bellator 222: Dillon Danis Cruises to Submission Win

Dillon Danis was a massive favorite to win his second MMA bout tonight, and the talented grappler easily did that, by tapping out Max Humphrey.

Danis quickly took Humphrey to the mat and began firing in punches. As Humphrey tried to get back up, Danis took his back and continued to land shots. Danis went for a rear-naked-choke but Humphrey defended. Moments later, Danis started working an armbar and he eventually forced the tap.

Here the results so far for Bellator 222, which is taking place at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
