After a flawless amateur career, Cody Law has choked his way into a 1-0 professional record following a beautiful d’arce choke finish at Bellator 250.
Law got a first-round finish against opponent Orlando Ortega, who also made his pro debut at the event.
The fight had mostly been a fast-paced bout of punch and kick attempts until that point, with both fighters largely managing to evade each other’s strikes. But as Ortega threw a kick, an awkward landing provided the perfect opportunity for Law to take Ortega to the ground. From there, Law easily passed his opponent’s guard and transitioned to the choke. Ortega tapped with 2:19 left in the first round, and Law collected his first professional win.
