— BellatorMMA (@BellatorMMA)— BellatorMMA (@BellatorMMA) @Biyongmmahurts Trainer! #Bellator281LIVE on @SHOsportsand @bbcthree pic.twitter.com/0TcnnaKgOM May 13, 2022 It was more of the same in the third, with Biyong again dropping Trainer and then going to work with ground and pound. An explosive KO to end his 64 fight career! A fitting end for @Semtex_170inside the Bellator cage. Late in the second round, though, Daley was able to reverse position on the ground and as both men got up, Daley delivered a series of vicious punches against the fence, with a right hook finishing the job and face-planting Giacomo. From there, Edwards poured on the punishment, with a left hand dropping the former UFC champion and some follow up ground-and-pound turning his lights off completely. The judges did not choose to reward him for that, however, and Storley won a split decision with scores of 48-47, 47-48, and 49-46, to win his first world title. When the fifth started, Storley quickly went back to work with the wrestling, and this time, he was able to get Page down and hold half-guard for some time. Page, meanwhile, was not faring much better, but in the limited exchanges on the feet, Page was landing shots, causing some bruising to show up over Storley’s right eye. Page proved difficult to hold down, though, and Storley was forced to spend most of the round holding onto the striking specialist, instead of doing damage. But the NCAA All-American was able to finally grab hold of Page and get him down. Friday night at SSE Arena in London, Storley faced hometown hero Michael Page in the main event of Bellator 281.
