Bellator Season Eight Preview

Welcome to Leg Kick TKO, a MMA blog that's crazier than Charles Bennett.

Bellator Fighting Championships is all about tournaments.  It's how fighters earn title shots, which I really like.  The only thing required of a fighter is "win the tournament", no matter how impressively the wins come.

The following tournaments will be contested over the course of Bellator's eighth season (Possibly going past season 8 and into season 9)

Lightweight


  • Champion - Michael Chandler
  • Challengers - Rick Hawn, Marcin Held/Dave Jansen
  • Tournament Favorites - Patricky Freire, Lloyd Woodard

Welterweight


  • Champion - Ben Askren
  • Challengers - Karl Amoussou, Andrey Koreshkov
  • Tournament Favorites - Douglas Lima, Ben Saunders

Light Heavyweight


  • Champion - Christian M'Pumbu
  • Challenger - Attila Vegh
  • Tournament Favorites - Seth Petruzelli, Muhammed Lawal
Check out the rest of the season 8 preview after the break.
