That was a sweet overhand right. Was setting it up from the start of the fight and Walked him onto it perfectly.  Good start for the Ruskis so far! Not a good sign for my boy Dustin!!!

I was getting nervous there that Belal.was gonna get hit hard with a straight down the pipe as he has no head movement! Then again his head is full of rocks so he probably wouldn't get KO'd!!
Anyway,  no need to worry. Nice takedown took the back effortlessly and sunk in the RNC.
About time Belal got a finish!!!!  That'll help move him up the rankings
