Bellator 256: Bader vs Machida 2 Results

Bellator 256 took place April 9th from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. In women's action, Liz Carmouche took a decision from Vanessa Porto. There was not a ton of action as it was mostly Carmouche controlling the clinch on the cage and looking for takedowns while Porto tried to stay on the outside. Cat Zingano took a win in a quick fashion defeating Olivia Parker. Zingano got the clinch immediately and looked for the takedown. They went to the mat and Parker settled in on her back and Zingano looked to advance. Zingano lost her position and Parker got on top but Zingano got the armbar and the tap. Talita Nogueira took a decision from Jessica Borga using takedowns and ground and pound all the way and Diana Avsaragova scored a beautiful knockout of Tara Graff in just twenty-nine seconds.
