At Bellator 170 on Saturday night, UFC veteran Lyoto Machida’s brother Chinzo Machida scored an impressive 3rd round comeback as he picked up an impressive KO that left his opponent out cold on the canvas. The win for Machida made it 4-straight as he continued his reign of dominance in the Bellator MMA’s featherweight division.
To make the win even more impressive, Machida had dropped the first two round, and was likely behind on the scorecards before scoring the impressive KO win over Jamar Ocampo. For Ocampo, the loss was his first professional one after picking up back to back submission wins on the regional scene.
Punches are expected in combat sports like MMA, boxing, and even in hockey, but you don’t, as a general rule, expect to see anyone throwing hands in the refined sport of horse racing.
