Asael Adjoudj won by 1st-round TKO over Jordan Barton on Bellator Dublin’s preliminary card – Henderson vs. Queally.
Franco-Algerian fighter Asael Adjoudj (4-1), current resident of the famous Straight Blast Gym in Dublin, made his professional debut under the Bellator banner in February 2020. He then lost by split decision to Constantin Blanita before to bounce back by beating Nathan Jessimer by TKO.

Adjoudj then made a move to UAE Warriors where he submitted Ozodbek Azimov. He then won a third consecutive victory against Saleem Al-Bakri. Back on the Bellator Dublin card to try and secure a second victory in the American organization, Asael was opposed to Jordan Barton (7-3-1).
The two men start strong, Barton scores a takedown but Adjoudj quickly manages to get up. He starts working in feints and connects English on a vicious check hook. Seconds later, Asael sends Barton to the ground with a powerful back leg head kick masked by fake jabs.
The 23-year-old then finished the job in ground and pound, forcing the referee to stop the fight. Asael Adjoudj therefore obtains his second Bellator victory by beating Jordan Barton by TKO at 2:39 in the 1st round.
