BOISE, Idaho – Hometown hero Veta Arteaga (5-2 MMA, 4-2 BMMA) survived early trouble on the feet against vaunted striker Denise Kielholtz (2-2 MMA, 2-1 BMMA), battling back for an incredible second-round submission. The women’s flyweight bout took place on the Bellator 205 main card, which aired on Paramount from CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho. Arteaga surprised early with a takedown to start the fight, but Kielholtz patiently worked her way free before long. Once back on the feet, Kielholtz flashed her fantastic striking with a few straight punches that landed clean, and Arteaga wisely moved inside to the clinch. Kielholtz eventually circled off and moved back to the center, where she again found the mark with quick strikes
