#Bellator215 main event is OVER after just 14 seconds. Kharitonov took a HARD kick to the 🥜 and can’t continue. What a bummer.

And both Invicta and Bellator's main events end on unceremonious fouls. This is why we watch MMA, folks.

What an unfortunate outcome. At 15 seconds, this is the shortest no-contest result in Bellator history. #Bellator215 https://t.co/D6axqQcwzR
