Bellator XII photo gallery: Alvarez and Lombard roll; Imada and Hess fall (and bleed)

Bellator Fighting Championships (Bellator) concluded its 12-week inaugural season last tonight (June 19) from the place where it all began at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

It was an exciting night of mixed martial arts action, which is typical when the promotion rolls into town. Just one fight went to a decision -- Luis Palomino vs. Troy Gerhart -- and it was really the lone dark mark on a very bright eight-fight card.

Stephanie Guimaraes set the tone with jaw-dropping knockout of Yvonne Reis less than one minute into start time. Fabio Mello and Sami Aziz battled back and forth for nearly three full rounds in what had to be the fight of the night. And two more champions, Eddie Alvarez and Hector Lombard, were crowned when all was said and done.

The next season for the promotion can't come soon enough.
