Bellator has released the full video of a three-round war between Rogelio Luna and Socrates Hernandez in the Bellator 277 prelims on Friday.
Luna and Hernandez stood toe-to-toe and slugged it out with reckless abandon for almost the entirety of the first round. Luna relentlessly attacked Hernandez’s body and left his flanks red. He then went to Hernandez’s head with heavy shots. Just when it seemed like Hernandez might fall, he managed to get the fight to the ground and threaten a choke.
The crowd at San Jose’s SAP Center lit up in support of the preliminary-card fighters. Their lack of experience (Luna fought his first professional bout while Hernandez returned for his second) was overcome by fearsome hearts. In the end, Luna took home a third-round TKO when Hernandez finally was able to take no more punishment and referee Blake Grice called off the bout. Both men received a standing ovation.
