Stoddard defeated Dan Stittgen via submission (triangle choke) at 4:43 of Round 1 at Bellator 198 on Saturday in Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Stoddard won five-straight fights to earn a shot in Bellator, and he had a great showing here. He was much more aggressive on the feet. Stittgen fought hard for a takedown along the cage, but when he finally scored it, Stoddard pulled off a triangle choke from guard and finished the fight. This was an impressive win for the Bellator debutant.
