Airing live on Fox Sports Network on May 20, 2010, Dan Hornbuckle picked up his second submission victory of the tournament in Grand Prairie, TX. Hornbuckle latched on a kimura on Steve Carl midway through the first period to advance to the finals of the Bellator Welterweight tournament.
Really great technique.

Ben Askren is a Lucky man that Hornbuckle had a shitty gameplan. Askren is the most overrated, boring fighter in Bellator. Even more so than Joe Warren. There needs to be a match between Warren and Askren, where both fighters must die at the end!

@myGangstaz Yeah, it happens... Askren, however, is no Brock Lesnar. He's not even a Brock Larson...He won't do shit now (is he going to fight Lyman Good?). A simple flash in the pan, you'll see when he faces real competition (don't know why Hornbuckle couldn't get the W, sometimes that's just how it is).

Heh, guess you were wrong. Askren is constantly improving and will only continue to improve. He's like a younger, smaller, more explosive Brock Lesnar. Only with a much, much larger learning curve.

hornbuckle has been the MMA fighter i represent the most, been watching him since he was 9-1, he is just confirming everyting real MMA heads already knew. Beast. Askren is fucked. He will get handled
heres to Dan Gono'ing Askren

bet the farm on this kid against Askren. Askren's schizophrenic grappling is tailor made for Hornbuckle's jitz.

The key to this submission was Hornbuckle's left leg : by controlling the head position (note his foot under Carl's armpit), he was able to secure the lock and force the tap.
