Coming off a great opening round of the featherweight tournament at last week, it’s the lightweights turn this Friday at Bellator 77. The field of eight lightweights features many new faces, a couple of returning fighters and one MMA veteran that has nearly as many fights as the only seven fighters combined.
Quick finishes and split decisions are what the fans in Atlantic City, New Jersey saw at Bellator 68. Not to mention the odd scoring and curious doctor stoppage, before finishing off the night’s action with two season six tournament bouts.
What a difference a week makes. Following last week’s Bellator 58 that featured a fight of the year candidate, Bellator 59 ended season five on an unfortunate sour note. Featuring two tournament finals and two exciting lightweight bouts on the main card, things looked promising on paper.
Ahead of his upcoming fight with Marcin Held at Bellator 59, Phillipe Nover gives Verbal Submission Radio an insight into his year out of the sport, his neck injury and his hopes of getting back into the UFC.
Bellator’s season five has been one of the greatest for the promotion and it will come to a close at this Saturday’s Bellator 58 event in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Coming off last weekend’s exciting lightweight championship main event that saw Michael Chandler defeat Eddie Alvarez, the guys on Saturday’s card have a tough act to follow.
The fighters stood and waited to get on the scale for Bellator 36, the first round of the Lightweight Tournament. All the fighters made weight; at least those of which that elected to weigh in.
Following last week’s Bellator 35, which opened season 4 for the promotion and kicked off the welterweight tournament, Bellator looks to continue that success at Bellator 36. Today’s Bellator 36 will feature the start of the lightweight tournament with the eight fighters facing off in four quarterfinal bouts.
