Canadian middleweight Aaron Jeffery loses by unanimous decision to American John Salter at Bellator 293
American John Salter used his grappling skills to win a unanimous decision over Canadian middleweight Aaron Jeffery and then announced his retirement Friday night at Bellator 293.
Salter took Jeffery down in each of the three rounds, controlling him on the ground while negating the threat of the Canadian’s striking. Jeffery turned heads in August when, fighting on eight days notice, he stopped then-No. 2 Austin Vanderford in 85 seconds at Bellator 284 in Sioux Falls, S.D. Vanderford was coming off a loss to Mousasi.
Salter grabbed hold of Jeffery early in the third, locking in a body triangle while hanging onto his back for a chunk of the round. The six-foot-two Jeffery had won 11 of his previous 13 fights with the two losses coming in Dana White’s Contender Series. He was submitted in the first round by Brendan Allen in July 2019 and lost a decision to Brazil’s Caio Borralho in September 2021.
Tokov felled Gibson with a left jab while the Canadian was launching a kick. Gibson went down and the Russian landed several more blows before the referee stepped in.
