Gegard Mousasi brutally stopped Austin Vanderford within a matter of minutes tonight at Bellator 275 at Dublin's 3Arena.

A star-studded crowd including UFC legend Conor McGregor and Love Island's Josh Denzel became were on hand at the iconic Irish venue to watch the promotion's return to the Emerald Isle.

And they were treated to an exciting night of fights with a host of hometown names sprinkled in with some international flavour.

Mousasi got the crowd going with a 'Sweet Caroline' walkout - but there was nothing sweet about what he did to Vanderford over the following two minutes.

The iconic Dutch middleweight champion defended his title in style by brutalising the unbeaten American within minutes of the very first round.

Vanderford seemed unable to deal with Mousasi's power throughout, and when he finally shot for a takedown that could have changed the fight, the end was inevitable.

Mousasi neutralised his effort with ease before raining down shots, forcing the referee to step in and stop the fight.
