Gegard Mousasi was forced to overcome an ugly eye injury, but ultimately he came out on the winning end of a unanimous decision over Alexander Shlemenko in Friday’s Bellator 185 main event.
Mousasi’s (43-6-2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) anticipated Bellator debut came down to the scorecards after three rounds of middleweight action, for most of which his eye was shut close. He got the edge from the judges, taking the decision over Shlemenko (56-10 MMA, 12-4 BMMA) in the Spike-televised headline at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
