Tywan Claxton showed he does more than just flying (expletive) in the cage. Claxton (2-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA), who went airborne and went viral for his debut knockout, showcased a broader skillset against the unheralded Jose Perez (0-2 MMA, 0-2 BMMA), taking the fight to the ground and dominating from top position. The featherweight bout opened up the main card of today’s Bellator 194 event at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. It aired on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Now 2-0 under the Bellator banner, Claxton continues to build his resume – and get closer to elite competition.
