Tywan Claxton is dead set on rematching the man who handed him his first pro loss. Claxton (6-1 MMA, 6-1 BMMA) faced Emmanuel Sanchez (19-4 MMA, 11-3 BMMA) in the opening round of the Bellator featherweight grand prix at Bellator 226 in September, where he was submitted by Sanchez in the second round. He was able to bounce back with a win over Braydon Akeo at December’s Bellator 235 and now finds daily motivation in improving his game in hopes to eventually run things back with Sanchez. “This is year three for me as a professional fighter,” Claxton told MMA Junkie.
