Zach Makovsky used timely takedowns and excellent control to take a unanimous decision victory over Nick Mamalis at Bellator 27.  Makovsky scored a big takedown in the opening round, eventually moving to mount and attempting an armbar.  In the second round, Mamalis scored a takedown of his own, but Makovsky used a sweep to reverse the position and claim the round.  The final tilt saw back-and-forth action as Mamalis knew he was down on the scorecards.  Makovsky equaled the effort to win the fight 30-27 on all three judges' scorecards and move on in the Bantamweight Tournament.
