BELLATOR MMA 143: Joe Warren in Action

After a great DYNAMITE event on Saturday in the Bay Area, it's BELLATOR back to being one again.

Friday night's card will feature Joe Warren in action as well as Joey Beltran taking on Kendall Grove. Both non-title affairs. Vinicius 'Spartan' Queiroz returns as well.

LIVE on Spike tonight!

Saturday Night's Dynamite Card is Dyn-o-mite!

Not J.J. from Good Times dyn-o-mite.

This Dynamite. The combined two in one combat night in America that is Dynamite. A BELLATOR MMA Cage on one side, and a GLORY ring on the other. Separate commentators, separate fights, and a very fun, yet innovative night in what I call the biggest night in combat sports this year.

For the BELLATOR MMA portion, Liam McGeary will defend his light heavyweight title against the Tito Ortiz. Plus BELLATOR returns to tournament format with a one night tournament to determine the number 1 contender for the light heavyweight title. Phil Davis will take on Emanuel Newton in one semifinal, while in the other semifinal boasts Mo Lawal against Linton Vassell. A light heavyweight tournament alternate match will be in the preliminaries as Francis Carmont takes on David Ruiz.

For the GLORY portion, Saulo Cavalari will take on Zach Mwekassa for the vacant light heavyweight title. Also Paul 'Semtex' Daley will be in action.

Co-founder of LORIMAR Studios in late '60s. Was chairman since Telepix merger in 1985 through 1988, when L-T merged with Warner Communications.

Strong on television, strong in syndication (thanks to the '85 merger), but motion pictures had ticket sales towards rock bottom, even though some films in their library pre-Warner merger (Action Jackson for one) were good.

Was married to Barbara Walters for a while.
