Bellator keeps rolling to make up for their extended hiatus, making the most of the start to the Showtime era. This may be the most packed show yet, with tons of vets and handful of very good prospects getting some work in.
The light heavyweight tournament is in full swing with champion Vadim Nemkov (13-2) defending his title in the first bracket against former UFC and Bellator champ Phil Davis (22-5). Vadim brings his Sambo predigree, but his crushing power and accuracy as how he managed to topple Ryan Bader in the first place to get that big gold belt.
