All four semifinalists for Bellator Fighting Championships’ 170-pound title made weight at the Wright Room at the Holiday Inn Dayton/Fairborn in Fairborn, Ohio. 
Lyman Good (170.5) vs Michail Tsarev (171) is the main event. The Russian submission specialist comes from an 11-fight win streak and his wants to conquer a title shot to boost his career. His last match was during Bellator 74 against Tim Welch, and as usual the victory came by submission.
“For me, it would mean a lot,” ‘The Lonely Wolf’ said. “It would mean the next step in my career. I trained very hard, and I hope the best fighter will win tomorrow.”
On the other hand, former champ Good is on fire to regain the title he lost in 2010 to current champ Ben Askren. He started his road defeating LeVon Maynard in only 13 seconds and continued with a victory via decision against Jim Wallhead (= Lyman Good vs Jim Wallhead).

MMA News – Rashad Evans dreams to face Anderson Silva!

Video interview Rashad Evans vs Anderson Silva

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans after his lost against reigning champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones at UFC 145 in April, hoped to come back in the Octagon as soon as possible, but it’s not going to happen, at least not by the end of this year.
It’s not his fault, but because there aren’t many fighters left available for Evans before 2013: Jones is recovering from an injured elbow from his last fight with Vitor Belfort (= Jon Jones vs Vitor Belfort) and stepping into a coaching role on TUF 17, Dan Henderson is also in the midst of rehab, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua is lined up to face Alexander Gustafsson, and Forrest Griffin is scheduled to fight with Phil Davis.
Evan’s desire, however, is an interesting name… Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva.
There are many pretenders to Silva’s title belt, and however ‘The Spider’ wants to face

But if that “man” is named Georges St Pierre, everything becomes complicated.

On December 7, 2011, it was in fact revealed St-Pierre had sustained an ACL injury to his right knee, forcing him out of the bout with Nick Diaz. Diaz lost to Carlos Condit at UFC 143, in a fight for the UFC Interim Welterweight Championship.
“He’s the best in the world. He’s one of the best the sport has ever seen,” Condit admitted.
But if GSP is “the man”, ‘The Natural Born Killer’ is
