There Was A Flying Knee Knockout Last Night On MTV And Here Is The Video


In the first quarterfinal fight of the Bellator Season Six Middleweight Tournament, excitement was in the air as Bellator veterans Vitor Vianna and Brian Rogers were expected to bring fireworks when they squared off. The fight started with both men exchanging on the feet, however, Vianna soon made it known his intentions of bringing the fight to the ground. Rogers, showing excellent takedown defense, preferred to keep the fight standing where he was at a distinct advantage. Rogers rocked Vianna with a right cross and followed up with a highlight-reel flying knee that sent the Brazilian Vianna to the canvas. Referee Jason Herzog stepped in to stop the fight at 4:14 of the first round and give Brian Rogers the knockout victory.

  7. Xaninho says:

    That knee was brutal! I liked Maiquel Falcao’s fight too, he’s a psycho lol

    • Ninja Oreo Dollop says:

      Falcao whooped that French guy badly! He’s going to win the MW tournament to face either Schlemenko or Lombard.

      • Xaninho says:

        Yeah! after seeing the fights I think along with Rodgers, he has the biggest chance of winning it. I think it will be a Brian Rodgers-Maiquel Falcao final.

        • Ninja Oreo Dollop says:

          Might have them in the Semi-Finals. They both are strikers and all the fights for the tournament I believe were striker vs grappler matches.

          Schlemenko is really good but I think Falcao could take him. I also want Schlemenko to drop to 170lbs because Lombard is gonna beat him again.

  8. Dick Diaz says:

    damn… Bellator coming through with the fire!
