Will Tywan Claxton bounce back with a win?
After a blistering stat to his Bellator career that saw him reel off five wins on the spin, [autotag]Tywan Claxton[/autotag] suffered his first career loss in the Bellator featherweight grand prix, as he was triangle-choked by Emmanuel Sanchez. Now the rising prospect faces a new test as a professional MMA fighter as he seeks to bounce back from defeat.
Claxton (5-1 MMA, 5-1 BMMA) will take on undefeated newcomer [autotag]Braydon Akeo[/autotag], who arrives in Bellator with a 3-0 record that features two stoppage victories, both by TKO.
After getting his first taste of the upper echelons of the Bellator featherweight division, Claxton will be keen to get back to that level as swiftly as possible, and handing Akeo (3-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) his first career defeat will go some way to pushing him back towards the division’s top men.
Can Claxton bounce back? Or will Akeo announce himself as a dangerous new arrival to Bellator’s 145-pound class?
