Bellator 257 video: Jay Jay Wilson's spinning backfist signals TKO finish of Pedro Carvalho

Jay Jay Wilson keeps rising up the Bellator ranks.

The promising featherweight picked up his seventh Bellator win on Friday night at Bellator 257 in Uncasville, Conn. Wilson (8-0 MMA, 7-0 BMMA) stopped SBG Ireland’s Pedro Carvalho by second-round TKO in the preliminary card opener of the night.

Wilson scored a finish to remember, as he caught Carvalho with a spinning backfist right off the bat in the second round and then swarmed him with punches and ground-and-pound to pick up the stoppage victory. The 23-year-old Wilson is quickly becoming one of the hottest prospects in Bellator at 145 pounds.
