Luke Trainer proposed to his girlfriend following his first-round submission over Sullivan Cauley.
Bellator 293's main card kicked off in a big way when Luke Trainer and Sullivan Cauley met in the opening bout. Trainer came into the fight 3-1 in Bellator, winning every fight via finish. The first two were via TKO, and the last, was a win over Lucas Alsina, via submission. Cauley came into the fight hoping to buck the trend, but Trainer was just too much for Cauley.

Trainer's win at Bellator 293 got overshadowed when, following his submission win, he proposed to his girlfriend. Not many things can top a win at an MMA event, but proposing to one's girlfriend and getting a yes sure can. Our congratulations to the happy couple.
