    Ex-wrestlers Davis, Honeycutt winners at Bellator 182

    Former college wrestling stars Joey Davis and Chris Honeycutt came out as winners at Bellator 182: Koreshkov vs. Njokuani at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y. Friday night.

    Joey Davis
    Davis, four-time undefeated NCAA Division II champ for Notre Dame College of Ohio, scored a TKO over Justin Roswell at 1:35 in Round One of their catchweight match ... while Honeycutt, runner-up at 197 pounds for Edinboro University at the 2012 NCAA Division I championships, got a TKO at 2:06 in the second round over Kevin Casey in their middleweight (180 lb.) fight.

    At the beginning of their bout, Davis slammed Roswell on his back. The former wrestler then landed punches, opening up a big gash near Roswell's left eye that bled profusely, according to Sherdog.com's play-by-play coverage. The referee then stepped in and stopped the action.

    Joey Davis, who had his first Bellator bout almost exactly one year ago, is now 2-0 in his pro mixed martial arts career ... while Roswell is now 1-2-0 in his young career.

    As for Honeycutt ... CagesidePress.com reported, "The story early and often was Honeycutt's ability to get the fight to the mat, which he did in both the first and second rounds. Casey, stacked up against the fence, had little answer." In the second round, the former Fighting Scot All-American wrestler administered serious ground-and-pound on Casey before the referee called a halt.

    Honeycutt, who launched his pro MMA career in January 2013, is now 10-1. Casey now has a record of 9-6-2.
