BELLATOR 95 RESULTS: Pat Curran Chokes Out Shamhalaev, Frodo Khasbulaev and Doug Marshall Win Tourneys - 4/4/13

Bellator MMA Championship Tournaments presented Bellator 95: Curran vs Shamhalaev on Thursday, April 4, 2013, at the Ovation Hall at Revel in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The main card aired live on Spike TV as Episode 11 of Season 8, and served as the eighth season finale.

Bellator's first season on Spike TV, after moving over from MTV2, started and ended with Bellator Featherweight Champion Pat Curran successfully defending his 145-pound title. Curran fended off tournament winners Patricio "Pitbull" Freire and Shahbulat Shamhalaev, earning a hard-fought split decision nod over Pitbull at the Bellator 85 season premiere, and a stealthy first-round submission victory over Shamhalaev to cap off the season finale at Bellator 95.

Magomedrasul Khasbulaev aka "Frodo" won the Bellator Season 8 Featherweight Tournament with a unanimous decision victory over Mike "The Marine" Richman. Khasbulaev is now positioned in line behind Daniel Straus for a crack at the 145-pound title. Given Straus' recent drug-related legal troubles in Florida, Frodo could find himself in a title fight with Pat Curran sooner rather than later.

Former WEC light heavyweight champion and old school slugger Doug "The Rhino" Marshall defied the oddsmakers for the third straight time to win the Bellator Season 8 Middleweight Tournament. Marshall scored a brutal first-round knockout of Bellator mainstay Brett Cooper to earn a title fight against Bellator Middleweight Champion Alexander Shlemenko. This sure-to-be highly anticipated match-up will pair the heaviest hitter in Bellator's middleweight division in Marshall against the division's most dynamic striker in Shlemenko. Fireworks shall ensue.

BELLATOR 94 RESULTS: Emanuel Newton and David Rickels Earn Title Shots with Tourney Wins in Tampa, FL - 3/28/13

Bellator MMA Championship Tournaments presented Bellator 94: Newton vs Zayats on Thursday, March 28, 2013, at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Florida. The main card aired live on Spike TV as Episode 10 of Season 8.

Two tournament finals were held at Bellator 94. In the main event, Emanuel "The Hardcore Kid" Newton won the Bellator Season 8 Light Heavyweight Tournament with a unanimous decision victory over Mikhail Zayats. Newton will now challenge Bellator Light Heavyweight Champion Attila Vegh in a rematch from Bellator 72, in which Newton dropped a split decision to the now-current champ.

In the co-main event, David "The Caveman" Rickels scored a controversial TKO win over Saad Awad to win the Bellator Season 8 Lightweight Tournament (more on this questionable stoppage below in the Madman Awards section). Rickels will now go on to fight for the Bellator Lightweight Championship. Rickels may have to wait a while for his title shot, however, as Bellator Lightweight Champion Michael Chandler already has a challenger lined up in Season 7 Lightweight Tournament winner Dave Jansen. Presumably, Rickels would then fight the winner of Chandler-Jansen, unless Jansen were to suffer an injury, at which point Rickels would likely leapfrog Jansen.
