Norbert Novenyi Jr. vs Will Fleury

The Straight Blash Gym in Ireland had seen their fighters be dominant for most of Bellator Dublin and Bellator 227. However, this luxury would not be afforded to them by Norbert Novenyl Jr.
The fight saw Fleury start well, but three big shots in the closing of the first round shook him. While Fleury tried his best to dominate with the help of some grappling offense, he was unable to do so as Novenyl's rights constantly landed for the rest of the fight.
Results: Norbert Novenyi Jr. defeated Will Fleury via Unanimous Decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-27)
