Twitter reacts to Ryan Bader's dominant victory over Matt Mirtione

Bellator 207 main event produced a thrilling one-sided beating of Matt Mitrione by Ryan Bader in the heavyweight grand prix semifinal at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville as he advances to the finals of the Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix.

The fight in itself wasn’t entertaining, but that was utter dominance by Ryan Bader, who was fighting up a weight class. Bader put Mitrione on the ground at the beginning of the first round and stayed tight to the body and kept his hands locked and he kept the action back to the floor again and dominated the whole round landing big punches on Mitrione. The rest of the fight was more or less similar to the first round.

It's time for the #Bellator207 main event and first heavyweight grand prix semifinal! Does @MattMitrione or @RyanBader advance to fight for the title? https://t.co/y7MJrgCH6q pic.twitter.com/yqmpWP99WB

Ryan Bader has never lost a decision in his career. 11-0 on the scorecards. If those goes long, he's close to a lock. #Bellator207

Mitrione is able to get back to his feet, but Bader sweeps out the leg and takes him right back down. #Bellator207

Bader only hit the back of the head 10 times there, ref. No need to do anything. Great job.

Mitrione's shoulder is making me sick

Bader is physically bullying Mitrione. This is one-way traffic.

Heavyweights getting seatbelted and utterly big brothered by 205ers is my new bag

This heavyweight tournament deserves a light heavyweight and middleweight as the two finalists, by the way.

Hey @BellatorMMA if it ends up being Fedor vs Bader in the final you have to do it in a ring.

Fans streaming out of the exits with a minute to go as Bader has it, we'll say "under control." #Bellator207
