Bader KOs 'King Mo' in 15 seconds at Bellator 199, will face Mitrione next

Ryan Bader demolished Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal during the first round of their quarterfinal matchup in the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix Tournament, knocking him out at the 15-second mark.

Bader will square off against Matt Mitrione in the semifinals of the tournament, with Chael Sonnen and Fedor Emelianenko scheduled to fight on the other side of the bracket.

Quite simply, this bout ended before it started in earnest, with Bader dropping Lawal to the ground and finishing him off with a flurry of punches before the referee stepped in.

It was the seventh-fastest knockout in Bellator history.
