HONOLULU – Zach Zane ’s grappling advantage and MMA experience was more than Nainoa Dung was prepared for on Saturday at Bellator 236, and it showed in the result. Although Dung (3-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) nearly staged a final-round comeback, Zane’s (14-9 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) overwhelming success with takedowns in the first two rounds put him ahead on the scorecards for the unanimous decision win. The judges’ scores were 29-28 across the board. The lightweight bout opened up the Bellator 236 main card at Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu.
