This night of matches will most likely headline a huge week at Bellator Sport Worldwide LLC. The company has announced that VIACOM, owner of MTV2 and Spike, has now a 50% stake in BELLATOR. What does it mean? Spike will have Bellator in 2013 with ZUFFA heading to Fox/FX beginning next month.
Nevermind that. Saturday night's Bellator 56 will be packed because of the card. The heavyweight tournament semifinals will pit Neil Grove against Thiago Santos in one match, and the other semifinal will feature Eric Prindle against Ron Sparks.
The main draw of Bellator 56-which will be in Kansas City-is the welterweight world championship. Ben "Funky" Askren, 2 time NCAA Division I wrestling champion, will defend the title against season 4 welterweight tournament winner Jay Hieron (whose decisions throughout the tournament are questionable because of the judging).
Live on MTV2 and EPIX HD at 8pm US/Canadian Central this Saturday night! Get away from the football and enjoy the best in MMA that is Bellator!
