Scott Cleve
Falls via submission at Bellator 164
Cleve lost to Noad Lahat via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:26 of round 1 at Bellator 164 on Thursday in Tel Aviv, Israel
ANALYSIS
Cleve returned to the Bellator cage for the first time since 2014, and he looked pretty rusty. The crowd's boisterous support for Lahat seemed to throw Cleve off his game. He comes from a wrestling background, but Lahat was able to take him down without very much fight. The American gave up his back almost immediately. He tried to remain calm and protect his neck. However, Lahat softened him up with knees and punches before locking on the rear-naked choke and finishing the fight.
