Reactions to Kana Watanabe’s Win

While there was some initial confusion if Bellator 255 would be viewable in Japan, Showtime is only viewable in the US, Bellator made the event viewable via their Youtube channel. Happening at around 10:00 am on Saturday morning, it looks like Japanese fans and fighters checked in to see Kana Watanabe defeat 4th ranked Alejandra Lara in her US debut.
