Jamie Powell
Struggles on the ground at Bellator 179
Powell lost to Amir Albazi via unanimous decision (25-30, 26-30, 26-30) at Bellator 179 on Friday in London.
ANALYSIS
Powell really had no answer to the grappling game of Albazi. The British fighter could not stop takedown or get up from the bottom. He scrambled into the top position in the first round, but that was the extent of his offense. He was entirely defensive for all of rounds two and three. In order to get another shot at this level, Powell will need to drastically improve his ground game.
