Bellator Champions Series video: Asael Adjoudj knockout punch sends Bruno Fontes into backward somersault

Asael Adjoudj sent his opponent head over heels, quite literally, in the Bellator Champions Series: Paris prelims opener Friday.

At Accor Arena, Adjoudj (8-1) opened the card with a bang when he clocked Bruno Fontes with a slick right hook. The shot floored Fontes (6-1), who rolled into a backward somersault. After some follow-up punches, the referee called off the fight at 1:11 of Round 2.

With the win, Adjoudj moves to 6-1 under the Bellator banner and has won six fights in a row. In his Bellator debut, Fontes loses for the first time as a professional.
