Francis Carmont to Meet Philipe Lins in Bellator 142 Tournament Alternate Bout

Another former UFC contender has been added to the equation in a one-night light heavyweight tournament at Bellator 142 on September 19. Previously a top middleweight, Francis Carmont will meet Philipe Lins in a tournament alternate bout at the event.

The contest was reported by MMA Junkie on Thursday, August 27.

Following a three-bout losing streak, Carmont was released by the UFC in 2014. He then signed with Bellator MMA and made his debut with the promotion as a 205-pounder in March. It wasn't an overly memorable performance, but Carmont was able to get back into the win column in a decision against Guilherme Viana.
