Pundit Arena Because Sport Is Everything
James Gallagher faced very little in the way of trouble as he managed to completely outclass Steven Graham in the Bellator 217 headliner this evening.
A truly fantastic night for the Irish was capped off by a near-flawless first-round submission victory from headliner James Gallagher over his opponent Steven Graham.
It really wasn’t too much hassle for Gallagher to dominate once the fight hit the mat – something that happened within the opening ten seconds.
From there, it was a methodical beatdown by the Strabane man before he was able to sink in the fight-ending rear-naked choke before the first-round was through.
With that, he moves to 8-1 as a professional in a fight on perhaps the biggest stage of his career, all things considered.
