PHOTO | Anastasia Yankova went to war at Bellator 161 “This is MMA babe”

Undefeated Bellator fighter Anastasia Yankova (4-0 MMA) picked up a split-decision victory over Veta Arteaga at Bellator 161 this past Friday night.

The stunning 25-year-old Russian fighter was definitely feeling the after effects of her three-round war with Arteaga, as she posted the following photo to her Instagram one day after the fight:

This is MMA, babe 😉 Потанцевали с подругой локтями неплохо так в пятницу, теперь лук в стиле "площадь трех вокзалов" будет со мной в ближайшие несколько дней 😂 #fuckfake #betrue #всетанцуютлоктями #MMA #wmma #Bellator161

Yankova’s fight with Arteaga was very close, so close in fact that Anastasia offered to fight Veta again during her post-fight interview.

Arteaga hurt Anastasia badly in the opening round, clipping her with a punch that had Yankova wobbling around the Bellator cage on shaky legs.

Round two was much closer, as both women trade punches in a hockey-style fight/brawl.

Round three definitely went in Yankova’s favor, but that did not stop the crowd from booing when the judges announced her the winner.
