Bellator 290 video: Chris Gonzalez puts Max Rohskopf on wobbly legs, wins by second-round TKO
INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Chris Gonzalez turned the tables on Max Rohskopfwith one punch Saturday night.
After first round in which Rohskopf looked like the better fighter, Gonzalez came back in Round 2 and landed the punch he needed, hitting Rohskopf with a straight right hand to the forehead that wobbled his legs and sent him backwards on the canvas. From there, Gonzalez only needed some follow-up punches on the defenseless Rohskopf to earn the second-round TKO at the 1:22 mark inside Kia Forum.
