The Bellator fighter Jake Hager, also knows as Jack Swagger in WWE, had no problems with T.J. Jones at Bellator 221 on Saturday. The 37-year-old won the fight in less than 2 minutes into the first round with an arm-triangle choke.
The victory was his second in his MMA career.
“Y’all can boo me all you want because you’re not in here right now,” Hager said. “I’m rock hard right now with emotion. I’ve got a boner.”

Some fans had an issue with how long Hager maintained his choke hold on Jones after Jones tapped out – so he was loudly booed.
Jones is a part-time fighter who spends most of his working hours at a Springfield, Missouri beef plant.
