The Bellator 79 weigh-ins have been completed from Orillia, Ontario for tonight event at Casino Rama, which features the semifinals of the Bellator Season 7 Heavyweight and Featherweight Tournaments.
The main event is Richard Hale (238.4 pounds) vs Thiago Santos (265.2 pounds), Heavyweight semifinal.
Richard ‘Rare Breed’ Hale (20–4–1) in his career has won the Rage in the Cage Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight championships, and in the quarterfinal defeated Mike Wessel by TKO.
Thiago ‘Big Monster’ Santos (11-1-1nc) has a very effective rear-naked choke submission and his huge weight can be an advantage against Hale. In his last two matches, he had a “groin issue” with Eric Prindle: he first gave it at Bellator 59 (= Prindle vs Santos 1), and than

“I said it in Brazil, and I’ll say it again: Hell yes, they will (fight)” Dana White said Tuesday during MetroPCS online chat.
But it will not be easy, because both of them have other plans (watch Anderson Silva UFC 153 post fight interview) and Jon ‘Bones’ Jones (17-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) said he wants to be a heavyweight as early as next year.
Anderson Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC) has always said that his desire is to fight welterweight champ Georges St Pierre (22-2 MMA, 16-2 UFC), who will make his most-anticipated return in the Octagon in less than 3 weeks (UFC 154: St Pierre vs Condit).
White, though, isn’t buying that argument: “I guarantee you that fight will absolutely happen. When people say that, it’s crazy because a lot of people believe that Jon Jones should be fighting at heavyweight anyway,” he said. “So to say that GSP vs Anderson Silva doesn’t make

Sometimes words speak louder than actions, and this can be the case: a living kickboxing legend will provide a deep reservoir of experience for the three-man commentary team that will be calling the action for fight fans around the world at the GLORY 3 Rome ‘Final 8’ event at the historic PalaLottomatica arena in Rome, Italy on Saturday Nov. 3 (Glory World Series quarterfinals).
Ramon Dekkers blazed a trail for Europeans in the Muay Thai world at a time when it was thought none but native Thais could be successful in the sport and, to this day, if he enters an arena in Thailand, he will receive a standing ovation. Dekkers will provide colour commentary for the event, which will see one 70 kilogram (154 pound) tournament competitor walk away with a tournament grand prize of $300,000.
He will be supported by retired MMA legend and first-ever UFC Middleweight Champion Frank Shamrock, as well as former PRIDE Fighting

Now is official: Pat Barry (7-5 MMA, 4-5 UFC) and Shane del Rosario (11-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will meet on the main card of the TUF 16 Finale on December 15 at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
The main event will be a fight between veteran “TUF 16” coaches Shane Carwin (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and Roy Nelson (17-7 MMA, 4-3 UFC).
Pat Barry, one of the UFC’s most popular heavyweights is just 2-4 in his past six fights. However, he fought always with great opponents, including Mirko ‘Cro Crop’ Filipovic, Cheick Kongo (five star match for one of the most unpredictable endings ever!!!), Stefan Struve and Lavar Johnsony, so his bad record is understandable. His last victory was a great bout with Christian Morecraft on January 20, 2012 (Fight of the Night – look at that punch!).

Evangelista ‘Cyborg’ Santos has signed with the Texas-based Legacy Fighting Championship and is scheduled for a February debut.
Santos, a former Strikeforce title challenger, hasn’t fought since September 2011, more than 13 months ago, and this was the principal reason that induced him to change scenary.
It wasn’t a good period for “Cyborg” family: he has lost 4 of the last 6 matches and comes from a TKO (elbows) loss against Jordan Mein and a submission (armbar) by Nick Diaz (= Nick Diaz vs Evangelista Cyborg Santos). His lately most important success was with
