UNCASVILLE, Conn. â Lucas Brennanâs win at Bellator 273 had the jiu-jitsu community buzzing.
In January, he finished Ben Lugo with an assassin choke at Bellator 273. If you havenât heard of many MMA finishes from that method, thereâs probably a good reason. Brennanâs variation of it was one even some seasoned practitioners hadnât seen before.
And it started with a takedown Brennan said he wasnât thrilled with.
âThe initial takedown couldâve been better, but what it turned into ended up being pretty cool,â Brennan told MMA Junkie at Wednesdayâs media day for Bellator 282. âSo all things considered, it worked out. I was pretty happy with how it turned out. That was something I worked on for a long time and itâll probably be the last time youâll see it.â
Brennan (6-0 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) takes on Johnny Soto (4-2 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) on Friday at Bellator 282, and heâs hoping for another highlight-reel finish to put on his resume â even if he acknowledges the assassin choke will be hard to do a second time.
But even without a finish, Brennan just wants to stay dominant in his fights and keep his unbeaten record intact. That way, he can make his way toward the rankings and start getting the steady kind of activity heâs been hoping for.
âMy favorite fight is probably (my win over) Andrew Salas, which was a decision â a 30-26 was one of the (scores),â Brennan said. âIâm fine with those kind of decisions â as long as Iâm dominant. I donât want to be on the split (decision) where half the comment section is sh*tting on me. If itâs going to be a decision, Iâd like to stay on top of the scores. But as long as Iâm coming out winning with at least a somewhat OK performance, Iâm all right.â

Skelboy approves!
Thatâs right, mate. I done me first pro fight a week ago anâ it were ace. I fought a bloke called Dale (which is a poofâs name, inât it?) anâ I knocked him out in the first fuckinâ round. Thatâs the real âSupermarket Sweepâ, yâfuckinâ knobtoucher!
I came out anâ I done a flyinâ armbar but I fell on me arse. I just stood up anâ knocked him out instead, it were funny as fuck. I fell over 'cos I were caned off my face, which is how I likes tâfight.
Iâd write more but I need tâget ready for me work, mate, âcos I inât quite famous enough tâjust put out DVDs oâme anâ me mates actinâ like twats on the piss like that bald Dutch bloke. Maybe after I done another fight I can put out âSkelboy on Whizz: The True Story oâSteve Smith Shagginâ yâMam anâ Beinâ Sick on yâCarpet, Poofterâ. Put yâname down if yâwant tâpreorder that now, mate.
Off tâwork in a minute. Saturday nightâs all right for feelinâ up one oâthem goth birds anâ spittinâ in someoneâs face! I need tâget proper caned bâfore I goes tâme work, time for some spliff. Can I get me green name now? Cheers.
PS: After me fight I pissed on the floor backstage anâ told everyone it were just some water I spilled.
Thank you guys. Iâm obviously pretty excited about tonight, but also my son is getting in to a cage with another trained fighter. Always nerve-wracking. Anyway, thank you again.
War Lucas!
