Levan Chokheli kicked off the Bellator 299 main card in devastating fashion.
The Bellator welterweight scored a nasty front head-kick knockout over veteran Sabah Homasi in the opening bout of the Showtime portion of Bellator 299 on Saturday at 3Arena in Dublin.
After a few exchanges, Chokheli (13-2 MMA, 4-2 BMMA) had Homasi (17-12 MMA, 6-6 BMMA) backed up against the cage. Then out of nowhere, Chokheli threw a front kick right to Homasi’s chin, putting him out instantly. It took a few minutes for Homasi to get back to his feet following the KO, but he eventually walked off on his own power.
