Though Hector Lombard drew most of the attention at Friday’s Bellator show, the night’s best stoppage belonged to Chad Leonhardt — great name for a fighter, by the way — who scored a YouTube-worthy first-round KO over Daniel Keenan. Watch as Leonhardt crushes Keenan with an overhand right, then puts him to sleep with a mouthpiece-ejecting knee to the face. Thanks, Chad. Bellator’s upcoming schedule is after the jump…
Bellator X, June 5th in Ontario, California: Joe Soto vs. Yahir Reyes for featherweight title; plus Wilson Reis vs. Roberto Vargas, and Matt Horwich vs. Bryan Baker
Bellator XI, June 12th in Uncasville, Connecticut: Omar De La Cruz vs. Lyman Good for welterweight title
Bellator XII, June 19th in Hollywood, Florida: Eddie Alvarez vs. Toby Imada for lightweight title, Hector Lombard vs. Jared Hess for middleweight title; plus Jorge Masvidal vs. Eric Reynolds

don't know why we don't see more effective knees like that from a sprawl where you have a whizzer or front headlock and hit him with some knees as he comes up. Or even pick him up with the tie so it's legal and blast him.

well gotta respect him for not jumping on top of the guy and hitting him after the knockout like some of these punks in dream and ufc

Bellator is looking more and more interesting all the time. I hope ESPN starts making dedicated TV English rebroadcasts soon.

They were great fights. That knockout was sick. 6 of the other 8 fights ended with finishes....... 40 dollars was the max cost for tickets. I will definately go again if they come back

@ terrence - agreed. Bellator is consistently putting together exciting shows. I wonder how they are doing business-wise

It's good to see this level of fighting in non UFC organization. The announcers aren't half bad either @ Terrence Agreed. I think a real professional should know when he has won a fight. Props to Leonhardt for doing it right.

Bellator is really impressing me. They have a really good tourny set up (which hasn't been completely derailed by injuries - praise to which ever god Bellator is sacrificing babies to) and the fights have been great with plenty of highlight reel moments. It's like they stepped up and started challenging the WEC right away.

Chad Leonhardt = Not a bitch

Really looking forward to seeing Alvarez in action again :O

Another outlet for fighters is a huge plus...I hope they can sign with a large tv network

That was kinda brutal.

Guesss where I'm gonna be on the 19th???

@Judo Im Right Remember, Bellator has a powerhouse like ESPN behind them. They should last longer than Elite XC. Agreed?
