The lightweight tourney finals will be Patricky vs. Held, great match-up.

The main event saw big lightweight Rick Hawn giving up a ton of size to Lima. Douglas hurt him with leg kicks and Hawn's cornerman Firas Zihabi ended up stopping the fight in the 2nd.

By the way, first ever Bellator welterweight champ Lyman Good lost the qualifier on the new TUF season to a middleweight who was a multiple time All American wrestler. I see you UFC. I see you.

Anyway, Lima's the new champ now and with Ben Askren long gone, he should have a pretty long run with the belt.

Bellator's back in 2 weeks for the Dantas/Warren title fight.
