After much tribulation both professional and personal, and in his first post-UFC fight, Tito Ortiz (pictured) took out Middleweight champ Alexander Shlemenko with a first round submission. It was a historic moment, not only for Bellator and their first Pay-Per-View, but many longtime MMA fans got to see “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” (People’s Champ) in rare form.

SOUTHAVEN, Miss. — “Bellator 120: Rampage vs. King Mo” took place over the weekend at Landers Center just outside Memphis.

We showed you our photos of the prelims, now take a look at our shots of the main card featuring Ricky Rainey vs. Michael Page, Alexander Volkov vs. Blagoi Ivanov, Tito Ortiz vs. Alexander Shlemenko, Michael Chandler vs. Will Brooks, and the main event between Mo and Rampage.
