Bellator 243 went down this past Friday night and Grant Neal of Genesis Fight Team showed the world why he’s such a highly-touted prospect as he won a dominant unanimous decision, even scoring a 30-24 en route to his 4th professional win and third victory within the Bellator promotion. Neal dominated every aspect of the fight, showcasing complete mixed martial arts skills, landing heavy on the feet, taking his opponent down at will, and battering him with savage ground and pound. Congratulations to the still undefeated, Grant “The Truth” Neal.
