King Mo out, Carmont in vs. Phil Davis in Bellator LHW tournament final

Bellator MMA's one-man light heavyweight tournament final has a major shake-up. Muhammed Lawal defeated Linton Vassell in the first semifinal, but neither man will be able to compete against Phil Davis in the final at Bellator: Dynamite 1.

Linton Vassell suffered one heavy punch too many in his loss to King Mo, so he wasn't given medical clearance as the first replacement for Mo.
