Jay Jay Wilson keeps rising up the Bellator ranks.
The promising featherweight picked up his seventh Bellator win on Friday night at Bellator 257 in Uncasville, Conn. Wilson (8-0 MMA, 7-0 BMMA) stopped SBG Ireland’s Pedro Carvalho by second-round TKO in the preliminary card opener of the night.
Wilson scored a finish to remember, as he caught Carvalho with a spinning backfist right off the bat in the second round and then swarmed him with punches and ground-and-pound to pick up the stoppage victory. The 23-year-old Wilson is quickly becoming one of the hottest prospects in Bellator at 145 pounds.
