Yves Landu’s nickname is “You Know,” and as The Notorious B.I.G. once said, “If you don’t know, now you know.”
The Paris native couldn’t have picked a better spot to make waves, as he made his Bellator debut on Saturday night during the company’s first-ever event in his hometown.
Livening up what at times had been a less-than-thrilling undercard, Landu (15-8 MMA. 1-0 BMMA) landed an absolute bull’s-eye of a flying knee to the forehead of Terry Brazier (11-3 MMA, 1-3 BMMA), ending their lightweight fight at the 2:18 mark of the opening round.
That gives Landu, who came into the bout a +260 underdog, four wins in his past five fights, and we suspect that his first appearance in the Bellator cage won’t be his last.
