Piece of cake, this MMA business isn't it? It is if you're Jake Hager, anyway, who steamrolled to his second successive fight victory at Bellator 221 last night.

Hager - better known as from his time in WWE as Real American Jack Swagger - made short work of T.J. Jones, submitting him with a nasty head and choke in the first round.

Jones' resistance lasted just moments, before Hager put the choke on him for another decisive notch in the win column.

The former WWE Champion began his MMA career back in January, seeing off the challenge of J.W. Kiser in similarly speedy fashion.

After the fight, the 37 year old showed charisma on the mic which rarely troubled his WWE run, quipping, "I thought the ref was him" in reference to Jones. "You know what, I'm rock hard right now with emotion," he continued. "I got a boner."

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
