LONDON – When you cover this crazy sport of MMA, you see a lot of crazy things. But we may have seen a first at Bellator 223 on Saturday night. The lightweight preliminary fight between U.K.-based Brazilian Jorge Kanella and London’s own Alfie Davis saw the local prospect extend his impressive record to 12-3 with a unanimous-decision victory. Davis (12-3 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) and Kanella (8-8 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) went toe to toe, but one toe in particular brought a temporary halt to the proceedings in the final round when Kanella, frustrated at Davis’ defense from his back, aimed a low front kick at an area we don’t usually see targeted during fights – the anus. At first, it looked like it might have been a standard groin shot, but replays showed otherwise, as Kanella’s toe appeared to catch Davis behind his cup, leaving him in obvious – and understandable – discomfort
