Bellator 216 video highlights: Taekwondo master Valerie Loureda shines in MMA debut

Bellator 216 took place Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., and streamed on DAZN.

In the main event, Michael Page advanced to the semifinals of the welterweight grand prix with a unanimous-decision win over heated rival Paul Daley. And in the co-main event, Mirko Cro Cop got even with Roy Nelson, winning their heavyweight rematch by unanimous decision.

Also on the main card, Cheick Kongo cemented himself as the No. 1 contender to the heavyweight title with a unanimous-decision win over former champion Vitaly Minakov, who lost for the first time in his 22-fight career. Taekwondo master Valerie Loureda made her anticipated debut in emphatic fashion, scoring a first-round TKO victory over Colby Fletcher.

You can watch all of the highlights from the Bellator 216 main card in the video above.
