James Adcock tried to keep fighting, but the outcome proved to be the same.
Against undefeated standout Cody Law (6-0 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) on the Bellator 276 prelims, Adcock (7-5 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) was dropped in a frantic exchange. A tough customer, he rose to his feet but was met by another Law haymaker. That was it. The fight was over at the 1:11 mark of Round 1.
Bellator 276 took place Friday at The Family Arena in St. Charles, Mo. and aired on Showtime after prelims on MMA Junkie.
Law, an All-American wrestler at University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown, has shown he’s more than just a grappler in his MMA career to date. Bellator 276 marked the fourth knockout victory of his undefeated career.
