Paul Hughes stopped Bobby King on his Bellator debut on Saturday night
Paul Hughes has promised to give Irish MMA fans more thrilling nights in the future - especially if they're held in Belfast. The Derry fighter kicked off his new Professional Fighters League contract with a stunning win at Bellator Dublin on Saturday night.
Now 27-year-old Hughes is making his own mark in the fight game, and has promised much more after passing the test of American King. Hughes prevailed after coming through some early pressure from experience King. The fight turned when Hughes wrestled his opponent to the ground and then landed some punishing elbows which opened a cut on King's face.
"I got complacent and I got dropped, and I got hurt by a couple of good shots in the first. So that's why I wasn't happy.
