Mandel Nallo has another finish for his highlight reel after Bellator 255.
Bellator lightweight Nallo (8-1 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) picked up a first-round knockout over Ricardo Seixas (9-3 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) in the preliminary card of Friday’s event at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The stoppage came at the 3:23 mark.
The knockout came after Nallo completely outclassed Seixas on the feet, landing at will and keeping Seixas on his back foot. Nallo fought loose and relaxed and connected plenty on Seixas, bloodying his face up. The finishing shot was a Superman punch that sent the Brazilian straight to the canvas.
Nallo was coming off a no-contest result against veteran Saad Awad in October. It was Nallo who landed the accidental blow that ended the fight. Prior to that, the Tristar Gym product ad suffered his first professional defeat to Killys Mota, but now he’s back on track in a big way.
