Mixed martial arts pro fighter Austin Vanderford picked up another career win Friday night at Bellator 215 in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Vanderford, a Ninilchik native who was making his Bellator MMA debut, submitted Cody Jones in less than five minutes in the 175-pound catchweight division on the main card. The win also kept Vanderford’s unblemished record alive, improving to 7-0 in all MMA bouts.
Vanderford forced Jones to tapout 4 minutes, 49 seconds, into the match by wrestling him to the floor and catching Jones in an arm triangle choke.
