BELLATOR 80 RESULTS: Alexander Volkov and Rad Martinez Advance to HW and FW Tournament Finals on MTV2 - 11/9/12

Bellator Fighting Championships presented Bellator 80: Warren vs Evinger on Friday, November 9, 2012, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The main card of this event (Episode 7 of Season 7) aired live on MTV2.

In the main event, former Bellator featherweight champion Joe Warren made a successful return to bantamweight against an overmatched Owen Evinger, brother of WMMA star Tonya Evinger. Warren flirted with 135-pounds before, but has now made a permanent move back to bantamweight after suffering a brutal knockout loss to Pat Curran at 145-pounds.

Alexander Volkov advanced to the finals of the Bellator Season 7 Heavyweight Tournament with a last-second knockout of Vinicius "Spartan" Queiroz at the end of the second round. The finish came after referee James Warring, a former pro boxer, inexplicably stood the fighters up from the ground after just mere seconds.

The Rocky Balboa adversary-inspired Russian heavyweight Alexander "Drago" Volkov will fittingly fight American Richard Hale, a real-life Rocky, for the heavyweight tournament title at the Bellator 84 season finale.

Rising star Rad Martinez looked excellent in outpointing MMA veteran Wagnney Fabiano over the course of 15 minutes to advance to the finals of the Bellator Season 7 Featherweight Tournament. Martinez will lock horns with fellow top 145-pound prospect Shahbulat Shamhalaev in the tourney final at Bellator 83.

BELLATOR 73 RESULTS: Attila Vegh and Marcos Galvao Earn Title Shots with Tourney Wins in Tunica - 8/24/12

Bellator Fighting Championships presented Bellator 73: Wiuff vs Vegh on Friday, August 24, 2012, at the Harrah's Tunica Hotel and Casino in Tunica Resorts, Mississippi. The main card aired live on MTV2.

In the main event, Slovakia's Attila Vegh knocked out American MMA ironman Travis "Diesel" Wiuff in a mere 25 seconds to win the Bellator Summer Series 2012 Light Heavyweight Tournament. Wiuff had been undefeated in Bellator with a non-title decision victory over Bellator Light Heavyweight Champion Christian M'Pumbu. Wiuff's storybook comeback ended a page short of a championship rematch with M'Pumbu. Instead, Vegh's tournament victory earns him what will be an international flavored fight with the French 205-pound champ.

In the all-Brazilian co-main event, Marcos Galvao used a series of vicious elbows to finish off Luis Nogueira in the finals of the Bellator Season 6 Bantamweight Tournament.

This victory is bittersweet for Marcos Galvao, who recently lost his mother, and who will now be challenging his Nova Uniao fighting family member Bellator Bantamweight Champion Eduardo Dantas in a mentor versus student showdown at Bellator 79.
