This weekend, it was all about UFC 149, but for those hardcore fans who put aside time to watch Bellator 72 this weekend, they were treated to a possible Submission of the Year.
In the main event of Bellator 72, Karl Amoussou faced Bryan Baker in the welterweight tournament final. Many figured this fight would be a striking battle, but not long into the first round, Karl Amoussou wowed fans.
After catching a Baker kick and tripping the American, Amoussou jumped on Baker and rolled into a beautiful inverted heel hook. The tap came almost immediately, as the move was flawless.
With the win, Amoussou not only earned a title bout against champion Ben Askren, but provided a highlight-reel finish that will be viewed for years to come.
The Submission of the Year honor definitely doesn’t hurt, either, should the Frenchman end up receiving it.
