Bellator light heavyweight champion Ryan Bader (26-5 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) moved one step closer to claiming the promotion’s heavyweight title, using a devastating wrestling attack to whitewash Matt Mitrione (13-6 MMA, 4-1 BMMA). The heavyweight gran prix semifinal contest served as the featured contest of Friday’s Bellator 207 event, which aired on Paramount and streamed on DAZN from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Mitrione was light on his feet, looking to strike, but Bader wasted little time cutting an angle and driving inside, putting his opponent on his back in just seconds. Mitrione did his best to push up, creating space and looking to rise. But Bader easily adjusted and drove the action back to the canvas
