It was a 5-round war between Will Brooks and Marcin Held in the co-main event of Bellator 145.

It truly was a matchup of wrestler vs. submission artist, with Held securing many leg locks throughout the 25 minutes of fighting.

Every time, Brooks was able to fight out and secure a top position, where he would land ground and pound shots.

Ultimately Brooks was given the unanimous decision win, and he retained his Bellator lightweight championship.
