Neil Grove, Cole Konrad Advance at Bellator 29

by Michael David SmithWith two fights down and one to go, Neil Grove is tearing through the Bellator Fighting Championships heavyweight tournament. Next he'll have to face Cole Konrad, who has been winning less dynamic fights, in the tournament final.

Grove destroyed Alexey Olenik Thursday night, whacking Olenik with a head kick, pouncing on him on the ground and finishing the fight with a series of hammer fists that led the referee to call it off after just 45 seconds of fighting. It was the second first-round TKO for Grove in the Bellator tournament; he previously defeated Eddie Sanchez by first-round TKO in the quarterfinals.

"If you fight you come out to win, not to score points," Grove said. "My job is to finish the fight quite quickly."
