Bellator has announced the opening round matchups for their one-night light heavyweight tournament on the "Dynamite" card on Sept. 19, and the fights set are the matchups expected.
The opening round bouts will pit former Champ Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal against former title challenger Linton Vassell, while another former Champ in Emanuel Newton will welcome UFC vet Phil Davis.
In addition to those fights, a bout between UFC vet Francis Carmont and Philipe Lins on the undercard will serve as an alternate should one of the opening round victors not be able to compete. The opening round bouts will take place over just two rounds, with the finals bout being a full three-round fight.
The "Dynamite" event on Sept. 19 features a dual cage/ring set up, and will showcase several Glory kickboxing bouts in addition to the MMA fights set for the card. The event is headlined by the Light Heavyweight Title bout between Champ Liam McGeary and Tito Ortiz.
