Emanuel Newton and Liam McGeary Liam McGeary didn’t look as happy as one might expect after winning the Bellator light heavyweight title . But according to the new champ, he was trying to figure out how he had even gotten to the scorecards against champ Emanuel Newton (25-8-1 MMA, 8-2 BMMA). “I don’t know how he managed to get out of that kimura in the first round,” McGeary (10-0 MMA, 7-0 BMMA), 32, told MMAjunkie Radio. “His arm popped and as he spun, he kind of popped back into place, and I was like, ‘You lucky bastard.’” McGeary, 32, had provided no work for judges in nine previous fights, so he was a little bit lost. As the scores were read, he found himself daydreaming about what had just taken place in the headliner of Bellator 134, which took place this past Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
