Bellator 68 Results

Jacob loses a very questionable decision in Bellator 68. Everyone thought Jacob had the win until it was announced differently. Dispite the decision loss, Jacob put on a great display of his stand-up game and was able to show the world that he was more than just a grappler. We will see what is in store for Jacob next. His last two fights in Bellator were by far two of his most exciting fights and he was able to showcase more of his skills having a great ground battle with Dave Jansen and a stand-up war with Don "Carlo" Clauss.

Here is his last fight. What do you think? I got Clauss round 1 and Kirwan rd 2 and 3.
