BJPENN.COM News - August 30, 2015
Bellator and GLORY’s first joint event is set to go off with a bang in September as “Dynamite 1” will feature a one night, four man light heavyweight tournament. UFC veteran Phil Davis, Emanuel Newton, Linton Vassell, and Muhammed Lawal will battle for supremacy and possibly the right to face the winner of Ortiz/McGeary for the light heavyweight championship. One night tournaments are a tricky thing in the world of mixed martial arts as the company runs the risk of getting one of the participants injured in their opening round fight. In the event that Davis, Newton, Vassell or Lawal get injured or are not cleared to compete by the athletic commission in the finals of the tournament, Bellator has set up an alternate fight between another octagon vet in Francis Carmont and Philipe Lins.
