Bellator 149 Results: Shamrock vs. Gracie

Bellator 149 took place February 19, 2016, at Toyota Center in Houston. The main event paired MMA pioneers Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock for the third time, while the co-main event brought Kimbo Slice and Dada 5000 together in a heavyweight grudge match. Slice’s win was later overturned after a failed drug test.

Gracie stops Shamrock amid controversy

Gracie stopped Shamrock with strikes at 2:22 of the first round. The finish was disputed: Sherdog reported that a knee landed low before Gracie followed with another knee and punches. Shamrock protested, but referee Jacob Montalvo did not stop the action and the TKO result stood.

Kimbo–Dada result later overturned

Slice was initially announced as the winner by third-round TKO at 1:32. The Texas commission later overturned the result to a no contest after Slice tested positive for nandrolone. The official result is therefore a no contest, rather than a Kimbo Slice win.
