Fades after strong first round at Bellator 177
Harper lost to Lena Ovchynnikova via TKO (punches) at 5:00 of Round 2 at Bellator 177 on Friday in Budapest.
ANALYSIS
Harper had a chance to win this fight in the first round. She scored an early takedown and went to work on the ground. From the mount, she securred an Americana and nearly finished it. She then transitioned to an armbar and a triangle choke, but she could not finish. Harper seemed to run out of gas to fuel her wrestling in the second round. Ovchynnikova took over with her striking and did a lot of damage. Harper failed to come out for the third round. She is still young in her career and did enough to earn another shot in Bellator.
