Bellator 283 video: Roman Faraldo keeps first-round KO streak alive with walk-off finish of Luis Iniguez
Roman Faraldo has a knack for separating people from their consciousnesses.
At Bellator 283, Faraldo (8-0 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) extended his knockout streak to five when he decimated Luis Iniguez (5-2 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) with a straight left. No follow-up punches were necessary, as referee Keith Peterson waved off the fight at 3:42 of Round 1.
Bellator 283 took place Friday at Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wash.
The fight was all Faraldo from beginning to end. Faraldo’s striking was sharp, accurate, and effective. Prior to the finish, Iniguez looked tired as he threw lunging single-strikes. In the final few exchanges, Faraldo’s confidence visibly increased. After he stunned Iniguez in a combination, he put his hands down. Seconds later, a left hand sealed the deal.
