Loses lopsided decision in Italy

Kallionidou lost to Anastasia Yankova via unanimous decision (28-29, 27-30, 27-30) at Bellator 176 on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Kallionidou seemed surprised at the decision, but aside from a nice spinning back fist in Round 2, she didn't generate much offense in the fight, allowing Yankova to consistently close her down with strikes. Kallionidou's striking needs some work, as some of her punches looked more like overhand slaps, but the 18-year-old has plenty of time to develop her game. The only question is whether that development should come in Bellator or a lesser organization. Kallionidou slips to 0-2 in Bellator as a result of the loss. She holds a 5-2 professional record overall.

Kallionidou lost to Sinead Kavanagh via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-25, 30-26) at Bellator 169 on Friday in Dublin.
ANALYSIS
It is tough to tell what Kallionidou was trying to do in this fight. After tasting Kavanagh's power early in the first round, it appeared as if the young fighter was mostly looking to avoid action. Bellator took a chance on an undefeated 18-year-old fighter, but she did not look good here against against solid competition. She will need to go back to the drawing board if she wants to compete against the type of challenges she will face in Bellator.
