It took a while, but welterweight Ben Askren finally earned a Bellator
win over somebody not named Ryan Thomas.
The former Olympic wrestler saved perhaps his best performance for last,
and the 25-year-old ran roughshod over the formerly streaking Dan
Hornbuckle en route to claiming Bellator’s season-two welterweight
tournament crown.
The win served as the featured contest in Wednesday’s Bellator 22 event
at the Kansas City Power & Light District in Kansas City. As with
all Bellator events, the card aired nationally on FOX Sports Net.
