Colin Fletcher lost to Alex Lohore via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:42 of Round 2 at Bellator 173 in Belfast on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Fletcher looked good early, catching a kick and landing a shot squarely on Lohore's jaw to drop him in Round 1. Fletcher showed an extremely active guard in the fight, but that didn't stop Lohore from repeatedly going to the ground, where he ultimately was able to finish with the RNC. Fletcher got the call to Bellator despite going 2-3 in his previous five fights, which may speak to the promotion's lack of roster depth more than anything else. The MMA veteran's record drops to 13-8 as a result of the loss.
