Bellator: Dynamite is upon us and it promises to bring a unique experience to the table for North American combat sports fans. We’ll see the Bellator MMA light heavyweight title on the line between champion Liam McGeary and challenger Tito Ortiz. Phil Davis, Emanuel Newton, Linton Vassell, and King Mo will all be competing in a one-night LHW tournament to determine who faces the winner of the main event. Also on deck are several GLORY kickboxing bouts, including a light heavyweight title bout between Saulo Cavalari and Zack Mwekassa, and Bellator welterweight Paul Daley against fellow Bellator man Fernando Gonzalez, who is making his pro kickboxing debut.
Before we get to the fights ahead we have to make sure they’re all on course to make weight.
