Well, that sure happened. A night of grudge matches ended in controversy as MMA legend Royce Gracie scored another win over his longtime rival Ken Shamrock at Bellator 149 in Houston, Texas. Street fighters Kimbo Slice and DADA 5000 settled their beef over an exhausting three rounds culminating in a TKO win for Slice.
See how the pros reacted to all the action from Bellator 149.
