Vanderford was knocked out by Gegard Mousasi early in the fight, and lost his Bellator middleweight title match with Gegard Mousasi.
Vanderford tried to get a takedown, but his Dutch opponent brushed him off and hit the deck.
The 31-year old curled up in a ball while Mousasi rained punches on him. The referee ended the massacre with just 3min 35secs left in the first round.
American Vanderford suffered his first defeat as a professional fighter in his 12th MMA bout.

After her UFC fight, VanZant rose to fame with a Sports Illustrated swimwear shoot.
Vanzant is now the most popular online seller of sexy photos, surpassing Madeleine Wright, a former Charlton star.
After a late-2013 wrestling session, the stunner sent pulses of racing after photos of her in a thong bikini.
After quitting UFC, she signed up for the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. However, she hasn't fought since July last year.
She revealed that she didn't want to continue living after losing to Rachael Ostovich in the aftermath of the fight.
