Former WWE superstar Jack Swagger (real name Jake Hager) was victorious in his second Bellator MMA fight at tonight’s Bellator 221 event, defeating his opponent TJ Jones via an arm triangle to take his MMA record to 2-0 in two fights.
Hager started the match by quickly grabbing the clinch and taking Jones to the mat, before unleashing some ground and pound. Hager attempted an Americana, however Jones powered free, only to have his back taken, followed by a top wristlock attempt, a double wristlock attempt and eventually the arm triangle that won the fight.
Hager, who was met with a chorus of boos post-match, held on to the arm triangle for a bit too long, to the frustration of referee Mike Beltran, however Swagger revealed in a post-fight interview that he wanted to be sure that the tap actually happened.
