Bellator 174 results: Julia Budd inaugural champ, Marloes Coenen retires
Bellator 174 takes place at the WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma.
In the main event, Marloes Coenen took on Julia Budd for the inaugural Bellator women’s featherweight title. Tonight there was a changing of the guard as one seasoned Veteran passed the torch to another. Julia Budd finished Coenen in the fourth round to declare the inaugural championship.
Following the fight, Coenen announced her retirement. The former Strikeforce champion began her professional mixed martial arts career in 2000.
The catchweight bout between Kendall Grove (23-16) and Mike Rhodes (10-4), as well as the bantamweight contest between Joe Taimanglo (23-7-1) and Steve Garcia (7-1 MMA), were removed from the card after Rhodes and Taimanglo missed weight for their respective contests.
You can watch the Bellator 174 preliminary bouts here at 7pm EST.
