As if Bellator’s return to pay-per-view couldn’t get more bizarre, we were on the cusp of a double knockout. 

In the co-main event between Fedor Emelianenko and Matt Mitrione, the two came out mildly tentative until possibly the most insane thing to happen nearly happened.

Mitrione and Emelianenko traded shots simultaneously, and dropped the other. Mitrione, however, managed to recover first and he leapt on to Fedor to ground and pound his way to the win.

Insane. Check it out below:
