After a lackluster debut, Michael McDonald showed his real self with a thrilling win over former Bellator champ Eduardo Dantas in the Bellator 202 co-headliner.

McDonald (19-4 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) steamrolled Dantas (20-6 MMA, 10-3 BMMA) for a knockout in just 58 seconds and catapulted his himself into bantamweight title contention with the finish in the Paramount-televised bout at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla. The scene after the win, however, left much uncertainty, as “Dudu” suffered a injury and “Mayday” revealed another broken hand.

Check below for the top Twitter reactions to McDonald’s victory over Dantas at Bellator 202.

#Bellator202: McDonald right teep, right hand combo floored Dantas and then he swarmed with punches.

Can we say McDonald is back? Or was it more of a lucky thing? Dudu didn’t expect/didn’t see the punch coming.

HOLY FUCK. McDonald still got them hands

Michael McDonald sleeps Dudu Dantas in one minute. Wow.

Damn, Dudu ruined his ankle on the fall. So much bad luck. Hope he gets well soon.

— Matheus Aquino (@MatheusDCAquino) July 14, 2018

Good lord. @BellatorMMA just cut to a replay showing Dantas foot turned sideways during the finishing sequence. Gruesomeness. #Bellator202

— Nolan King (@mma_kings) July 14, 2018

McDonald confirms he broke his left hand, not his right hand. Says he may be too strong for his body. Doesn’t know how long he can keep doing this. #Bellator202

I’m a little behind on #Bellator202 but @MaydayMcDonald …. Wow

That looks NASTY!! https://t.co/hgKWsFXBwl

A lot of things got broken in that fight.

— Trent Reinsmith (@TrentReinsmith) July 14, 2018

Michael McDonald says he broke his left hand during the fight. Tremendous win but he sounds dejected at the knowledge of breaking another hand.

— John Pollock (@iamjohnpollock) July 14, 2018

Just heard McDonald broke his hand. I wish a speedy recovery to him and Dudu. And whoever is healthy at Bantamweight or even Featherweight, I’ll be ready to go any time. @BellatorMMA @ScottCoker @rtemike @rich_chou @MMAjunkie @BloodyElbow @MMAFighting @sherdogdotcom https://t.co/MOmMTmEJBf
