Adkins defeated Chris Jones via submission (d'arce choke) at 4:09 of round 2 at Bellator 166 on Friday in Thackerville, Okla.
ANALYSIS
Jones really had no legal answers to Adkins takedowns in the first round. He briefly stopped one, but it was only after an egregious fence grab. Adkins continued to push forward with takedowns in the second round. After a referee standup, he rocked Jones with a straight punch. He went for the finish, but Jones survived. As he attempted to get back to his feet, Adkins locked on d'arce choke and finished via submission.
