Corey Anderson put on an impressive wresting clinic against Karl Moore in the main event of Bellator Belfast earlier today (Fri., March 22, 2024) in Northern Ireland to win the vacant Light Heavyweight title after two previous failed attempts against Vadim Nemkov.

From the jump, Anderson made it no secret what his gameplan was going to be all night, shooting for the takedowns early. Moore did show some solid defensive wrestling at time, but Anderson worked “Overtime” for the takedowns and got them more often than not, much to the chagrin of the crowd.

Even the ref didn’t seem too please with Anderson’s strategy, often breaking up the fight when pressed up against the cage, giving both men plenty of warning throughout to pick up the offense. But that didn’t deter Anderson, who kept going to the well almost immediately each time.

In the end, there was zero doubt that Anderson was the new champion because he dominated the entire 24 minutes the main event title fight lasted, realizing his championship dreams a decade after winning The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) competition.

Check out some of the action below:

As for what’s next for “Overtime,” that remains to be seen, but Anderson recently revealed he wouldn’t be opposed to move up to the Heavyweight division in order to complete his trilogy against former 205-pound champion, Vadim Nemkov.
