‘Judo’ Jim Wallhead Out Of Bellator Welterweight Tournament; Ryan Thomas Gets A Second Chance

Ryan Thomas lost in his fight to Ben Askren when the referee decided that the fact that he was in a submission hold meant that he would eventually submit and stopped the fight. SB Nation covered the events of the fight in full following the event last week.

The real question is how ready can Thomas be to go on a few days notice after having a fight last week. McClintock is no joke, he’s got a very solid submission game and striking game that has plenty of holes. So in short, it’s the same kind of fight for Thomas that he had against Askren, but McClintock’s wrestling game isn’t quite as high level.
