Hesdy Gerges
Netherlands
Finds out how hard MMA can be
Gerges lost to Domingos Barros via TKO (punches) at 3:52 of Round 1 at Bellator 211 on Saturday in Genoa, Italy.
ANALYSIS
Gerges made his professional MMA debut, and he was certainly hoping for a better showing. Barros closed the distance early in the fight and scored a takedown. From there, he dominated on the ground. Gerges allowed him to transition into the crucifix and the mount. Once Barros earned the mount, he threw more than enough punches to force the referee to stop the bout. Gerges built a 50-20-1 record as a professional kickboxer, and he is now 0-1. He is only 34, so he has time to learn the MMA game, but this was not a strong start.
