Bellator is the only major show in town this weekend, with an action fight card set for this Friday night. Headlining will be longtime UFC vet and Bellator newcomer, Melvin Guillard, fresh off a rocky year under the World Series of Fighting banner. Guillard will take on relatively unknown lightweight Brandon Girtz. In the co-main, former two time Bellator lightweight tournament finalist Patricky Freire looks to rebound from a loss last year to current title challenger Marcin Held. He'll be meeting longtime Bellator lightweight Saad Awad who is on his own three fight win streak.
