This Friday, sandwiched between a UFC event and RFA 14 on AXS TV, Bellator will go a long way towards filling out its season 10 tournament brackets. The Bellator 116 card, which will take place from Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California, features four semifinal bout across three different tournaments. The heavyweight tournament final will be determined as Lavar Johnson takes on Blagoi Ivanov on one side of the bracket, while ‘Mighty Mo’ and former Bellator champion Alexander Volkov determine the other spot. A finalist will be decided at both 170 and 185lbs as well. Nathan Coy takes on Adam McDonough in the welterweight division, while Joe Pacheco battles Brandon Halsey at middleweight. Long-time MMA veteran Vladimir Matyushenko will also make his final MMA appearance, while fellow UFC veterans Karo Parisyan and Rob Emerson look to pick up wins on the undercard. MMA oddsmaker Nick Kalikas released the betting lines for all seven of these Bellator 116 bouts today at Several Bookmakers. ——————– MAIN CARD (Spike TV, 9pm ET) Heavyweight Tournament Semifinal Blagoi Ivanov -160 Lavar Johnson +120 Welterweight Tournament Semifinal Nathan Coy -180 Adam McDonough +140 Vladimir Matyushenko -135 Joey Beltran -105 Heavyweight Tournament Semifinal Alexander Volkov -265 Siala-Mou Siliga +185 ——————– PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike.com, 7pm ET) Middleweight Tournament Semifinal Brandon Halsey -285 Joe Pacheco +205 Rob Emerson -140 Joe Taimanglo +100 Ron Keslar -190 Karo Parisyan +150 ——————–
