Welterweight Semifinal Bouts
- Ben Askren vs. Ryan Thomas II
- Dan Hornbuckle vs. Steve Carl

Featherweight Semifinal Bouts
- Joe Warren vs. Georgi Karakhanyan
- Wilson Reis vs. Patricio Freire

Quick Hit: I’m glad they gave Thomas the rematch. That was a horrible stoppage by the ref. The other bouts will be interesting as well. Bellator tournaments are a nice change of pace to the mainstream “hype-style” fights. You can catch all the action Thursdays on Fox Sports, and I suggest you do.
