(Yeah, that’s an upside down triangle choke. Props: Watch Kalib Run.)
Maybe the most interesting story to come out of Bellator so far is Toby Imada’s upset of Jorge Masvidal in last night’s Bellator lightweight tournament semi-finals. Masvidal was reportedly in control for most of the bout, but in the third round a failed takedown attempt led to an upside down triangle choke from Imada against a standing Masvidal. Masvidal did his best to endure it, but ended up collapsing to the canvas unconscious. Bellator promises us video of the submission soon, and this ought to be good. Imada moves on to the finals to face Eddie Alvarez, who was also victorious last night. Full results are after the jump.

BENS, you seriously have to do something about this. IT IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL. We all understand that the website is getting larger and with a larger audience comes a larger population of ignorant dirt bags who clog up the boards with useless bullsh!t, but there needs a system implemented to weed these fvckers out. I almost never read past the story anymore due to some of these people.
