Friday’s Bellator 109 will be the last event of the season for the promotion and will feature a surprisingly impressive title fight. But that’s not all though as the Bellator 109 main card will also see the closure of the Lightweight and Welterweight tournaments.
Slow motion heavyweight’s aside, Bellator 104 was an excellent card tonight, with a few future tournament place holders making their mark. It’s the Welterweights we all came to see though, with the finals of that 170lb tourney capping off the evening.
Tonight’s Bellator 104 is one of the best Bellator cards of the season. The Welterweight tournament will come to a head, while fighters across all weight classes will look to get into the next phase of tournaments, with some recognizable names in the mix.

The area is filled with top gyms with talented fighters and loyal fans that have been forced to travel to see their favorite local fighters.

The East Bay is a hot bed for Mixed Martial Arts, home to several top gyms and many current and former champions. Names like Cain Velasquez, Nick Diaz and Gilbert Melendez all train in the greater East Bay and have all fought on the world’s biggest stages.
