Bellator LHW tournament pairings: King Mo vs. Vassell, Davis vs. Newton

We're just under a month away from Bellator MMA's Dynamite show, which features (among other things) a light heavyweight four-man, one-night tournament to determine who will face the winner of Liam McGeary versus Tito Ortiz. The field consists of Muhammad Lawal, Linton Vassell, Emanuel Newton, and new signing Phil Davis. On Friday night's Bellator 141 broadcast, the pairings for September 19th were announced. King Mo will face Vassell, while former champion Newton will be Davis' first opponent inside the Bellator MMA cage. The alternate bout, which was announced earlier in the week, will be between Francis Carmont and Philippe Lins.
