BELLATOR 86: Askren v Amoussou for Welterweight Title and Mo Lawal's MMA Return

Finally it is great to be back posting pictures on my blog.

With that in mind, BELLATOR 86 will be just as explosive as Thursday night's BELLATOR 85. Why? Because Ben 'Funky' Askren will return to the cage and defend his welterweight title against the most recent welterweight tournament champion Karl Amoussou.

Also, there are four welterweight tournament quarterfinal matches featuring the likes of Brent Weedman, Marius Zaromskis, Doug Lima, Ben Saunders and Mikhail Tsarev.

But that's not all! the final quarterfinal match in the light heavyweight tournament will mark Mo Lawal's return to MMA as this will be his first fight with BELLATOR for the RPW (which was a GOOD concept, but short lived) and Strikeforce star.
