Bellator 201 took place in within the Pechanga Resort and Casino on Friday for the Temecula crowd. The main event featured a battle for the women’s flyweight title between Ilima-Lei Macfarlane and Alejandra Lara.
Co-headlining the night’s event, Saad Awad went toe-to-toe with Randy Couture’s son Ryan Couture in a lightweight match up. Of course, the match did not last long.
Awad pressured his opponent into the fence with a flurry of blows that hearkened back to the prime of Wanderlei Silva. Couture was simply unable to withstand the onslaught and ultimately suffered a first round TKO loss.
