Last night’s Bellator 78 saw the season seven welterweight tournament reach the finals in not so pretty fashion. While the four fighters vying for the $100,000 over sized check and a title shot did what the do best the referee’s were not doing their best work. Their actions or lack thereof tainted the two semifinal outcomes and overshadows the welterweight finals match up.
The Bellator welterweight tournament has reached the finals after tonight’s semifinal bouts at Bellator 78. Unfortunately both tournament bouts ended with questionable decisions from the referee but in the end it was Lyman Good and Andrey Koreshkov advancing to the season seven tournament final.
With MMA promotions like Bellator and the Maximum Fighting Championship occupying Friday night’s, the end of the work week has become the start of the “Fight Weekend” for fans. This weekend is without a UFC event but tonight’s action at Bellator 78 and MFC 35 are sure to kick off your weekend the right way.
The MMA Calendar has turned to the month of October and the end of the year is within our sights. The final quarter of the year is not only filled with holidays but it also typically contains some of the best MMA action the year has to offer. October has plenty of fights, which is always great, but this month has a handful of fights that you do not want to miss.
At last night’s Bellator 74, the opening round of the welterweight tournament saw three of the four welterweight tournament bouts go the distance in grinding fashion. The four welterweight tournament bouts made of the Bellator 74 main card, which took place at the Caesar’s Atlantic City in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Bellator is back and tonight the promotion kicked off their seventh season in New Jersey with Bellator 74. The final season before the promotion moves over to Spike TV will feature four new tournaments, starting with the welterweights.
With the Summer Series having come to a close, Bellator is getting ready to kick off its Season Seven opener this Friday. We’ve got a lot of fighters gearing up for their chance at the tournament championship, others taking their stab at the divisional title belt, and still more just looking for a chance to shine on the main and undercards.
Coming off a crazy paced, jam-packed few months of MMA action; things have slowed down heading into September. The unfortunate cancellation of UFC 151 has put six weeks between UFC events and with Bellator’s new season not beginning until the end of the month, things seem too quiet.
