Round 1
We have reached what Bellator has so far claimed is just its “final
event of the year.” The chatter about the future of the promotion
has reached a fever pitch on fight night, but regardless of what
comes next, 16 fights are on the docket in Chicago including
several huge ones on the main card. We start off in the
featherweight division, as France’s Landu (19-9, 4-1 BMMA) tries to
make Kobayashi (27-5-2, 0-2 BMMA) feel unwelcome in his return to
the promotion. Referee Mike Cimmarusti takes the first assignment
of the night, and he watches a glove touch, as the fighters get
down to it. Landu marches forward out of his corner, only to have
his lead leg kicked hard. Landu counters with an overhand right,
and he tumbles to the mat and recovers. Landu crowds his opponent,
tossing out a kick or two to find his range. Kobayashi returns fire
with a low kick and ducks a looping punch, and he misses on a
second kick from the other leg. Landu whiffs on his own sweeping
kick, and he settles down and thunks one on the lead knee of his
opponent. Kobayashi half-heartedly reaches with one back and comes
up short on a few punches, and Landu pushes off his forehead when
Kobayashi tries to close the distance. Landu dips with a right and
buzzes the hair with a left, leading Kobayashi to crash the pocket
and tie him up in the clinch. Kobayashi keeps tight pressure and
controls Landu, but does little else beyond squeezing. Landu
stifles a possible body lock takedown, and when he gets turned
around, he shuts down a trip from the fighter out of Tokyo.
Kobayashi pops Landu in the chops with a shoulder, and he raises
Landu up with two knees. The second knee gets Landu’s attention, as
he sells out for a single-leg takedown. Kobayashi defends himself
and stands back up, only for Landu to dump him down to his seat in
a subsequent attempt. When Kobayashi powers back to his feet, Landu
is quick to strip his legs out and put him back down. Once more,
Kobayashi speedily stands back up, and Landu is not about to let
him stay upright for long as he threatens and succeeds with another
trip-up from behind. Kobayashi is similarly frantic to stand up,
and he breaks the grip and spins around with a head kick that comes
up short before the bell sounds.
