Archie Colgan trains with some of the best fighters in the world โ and it showed at Bellator 283.
In the preliminary card opener, Colgan (5-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) put a beating on tough gritty opponent Bryan Nuro (8-5 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) and won by TKO at 1:15 of Round 3.
Bellator 283 took place Friday at Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wash.
Colgan, a training partner of the likes of Kamaru Usman and Justin Gaethje, showed a well-rounded attack in the two-plus rounds prior to the finish. A wrestler in roots, Colgan showed off his striking for the majority of the fight. Outside of a head kick in Round 2, Nuro struggled to muster much offense.
In Round 3, Colgan dumped Nuro to the canvas. From there, he swarmed with punches and ground-and-pound. Nuro rose up but the swarm didnโt stop. As Nuro retreated to the cage, Colgan cranked him with a big overhand right that ended the fight.
