One unique night of fights went down at Bellator 203. The event held at Foro Italico in Rome was a combined Bellator MMA and Bellator Kickboxing card, and the MMA card unfolded at a record clip, with five consecutive fights ending in first-round knockouts. Those on the winners’ side included popular veteran slugger Alessio Sakara and former Bellator welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov. But it wasn’t quite a clean sweep of first round finishes, as the main event featured a 25-minute battle. The first time Patricio Freire and Daniel Weichel fought, “Pitbull” earned the victory at Bellator 138 with a 38-second knockout. The rematch was a different matter
