Bellator 258 video: Johnny Campbell shocks massive favorite Henry Corrales with finish

Henry Corrales dropped the ball as the biggest betting favorite on Friday’s Bellator 258 card.

According to the betting odds, Corrales was expected to have a layup of a fight against promotional newcomer Johnny Campbell, a longtime fighter making his Bellator debut.

Corrales (18-6 MMA, 6-6 BMMA) was dropping to bantamweight for the first time, and the matchmaking seemed slanted to see him win big. He was as high as a -1200 favorite. Campbell (21-13 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) had other plans, though. He dropped and stopped Corrales for the second-round finish.

After landing a big uppercut that led to a knockdown, Campbell pounced on Corrales and locked in a rear-naked choke for the tap at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. (via Twitter):
