The main event of Bellator 215 in Uncasville, Connecticut ended as it soon as it started after Matt Mitrione groin kicked Sergei Kharitonov within 15-second into the bout.
Mitrione accidentally landed a kick to the cup of Kharitonov and the Russian was unable to continue as he laid on the canvas in deep pain. The fight was ruled out as no contest and both the fighters will fight again on a later date.

In the co-main event, welterweight contender Logan Storley defeated Ion Pascu via unanimous decision. The fight wasn’t very pleasing to watch for fans because of the lack of action and it resulted in fans booing throughout the arena. Storley showcased his wrestling skills and Pascu was unable to keep Logan off him. Although Pascu tried few submission attempts, he got thoroughly beaten throughout the fight.

Bantamweight contender Eduardo Dantas beat Toby Misech via unanimous decision in a lacklustre fight. This fight was important for him as he suffered a devastating leg injury in his last fight against Michael McDonald and was only on a two-fight losing streak.
