Emmanuel Sanchez left no doubt when he squared off with Daniel Weichel for the second time. Looking to avenge his split-decision loss from over four years ago, Sanchez (20-4 MMA, 12-3 BMMA) met Weichel (40-12 MMA, 9-4 BMMA) in the grand prix quarterfinals at Bellator 252 , which took place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Both men came out firing, and engaged in some heated exchanges on the feet. Sanchez found a home for his right hand on numerous occasions as he landed the more significant strikes. Sanchez continued to pressure Weichel and dropped him with a thunderous liver shot that had the German fighter grimacing in pain.
