Lucas Brennan was less than 90 seconds away from his first professional loss, until he connected with a spectacular home run shot.
On the prelims of Bellator 298 at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D., Brennan (9-0 MMA, 9-0 BMMA) was dealing with a tough outing against Weber Almeida (7-2 MMA, 5-2 BMMA), who was up on all three judges’ scorecards going into Round 3. However, with his back against the wall, Brennan landed a knee that immediately put Almeida out cold at 3:32 to seal an incredible comeback.

It was only the second time in Brennan’s professional career that he saw a third round, breaking a streak of four consecutive first-round finishes.
For Almeida, the result is a heartbreaking one that halts the momentum of a two-fight winning streak.
