SAN DIEGO – After he submitted Davion Franklin this past Saturday, Slim Trabelsi broke down in tears against the fence.

Trabelsi (6-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) went through more to get to his Bellator and U.S. debut than most fighters could even fathom. It’s almost as if Franklin (6-2 MMA, 6-2 BMMA) never had a chance if the MMA gods had destined Trabelsi to be rewarded for the trials and tribulations on the way to Bellator 300.

Trabelsi spoke to the media following his win over Franklin, which took place at Pechanga Arena in San Diego.

Watch Trabelsi’s full post-fight interview in the video above.
