Bellator 210 results: Goiti Yamauchi edges Daniel Weichel by split decision
The matchup between Goiti Yamauchi and Daniel Weichel at Bellator 210 played out as closely in reality as it appeared on paper.
Yamauchi (23-4 MMA, 9-3 BMMA) and Weichel (39-11 MMA, 8-3 BMMA) were extremely competitive with each other for three rounds, but in the end Yamaguchi got the split-decision nod with varying scores of 30-27, 27-30 and 29-28.
The lightweight bout took place on the Bellator 210 prelims, which streamed on MMAjunkie prior to the main card on Paramount and DAZN from WinStar World Casino & Resort in Thackerville, Okla.
After Weichel failed to dethrone Bellator featherweight champ Patricio Freire for a second time earlier this year, he moved up to 155 pounds for the matchup with Yamauchi, who was coming off a hard-fought loss to ex-champ Michael Chandler.
It was difficult for either man to get the upper hand as they attempted to get back on track. They traded techniques in almost every area, but neither man was able to put the other in serious jeopardy. That made it a difficult fight to assess, which explains the wide-ranging scores among the three judges.
With the victory, Yamauchi became the first person other than “Pitbull” to defeat Weichel in Bellator competition.
