Eric Ellington
Outpoints Jordan Howard in the Bellator 197 preliminary opener
Ellington defeated Jordan Howard via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at Bellator 197 on Friday in St. Charles, Mo.
ANALYSIS
This fight was extremely light on action. Howard appeared to be a step ahead in terms of striking, but Ellington was able to win the first two rounds and survived the third with his wrestling. He could not pass the guard or do damage from the top, but it was enough to pick up his fifth win. Ellington is a Missouri based fighter and will likely continue to be called up when Bellator visits the state.
