Bellator London videos, results: Sara Collins brutalizes Leah McCourt in No. 1 contender fight

Bellator returned to London on Saturday night, and locals went perfect up until the main event at the OVO Wembley.

With a middleweight title bout between Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards cancelled just days before the show, Leah McCourt vs. Sara Collins was elevated to the main event slot. The winner potentially will earn a shot against Bellator featherweight champion Cris Cyborg, who faces PFL queen Larissa Pacheco in a superfight next month in Saudi Arabia, and Collins made the most of the opportunity.

Collins nearly knocked McCourt out cold with a brutal right hand early in the first round, but McCourt somehow survived the shock. Collins kept the attack and transitioned to the back, immediately going for the rear-naked choke. McCourt tried to fight the hands, but was forced to tap at the 2:25 mark.

“Cyborg, I’m coming,” Collins said after the win, with a smile on her face.
