Bellator is back TONIGHT (Fri., Nov. 8, 2013) LIVE from WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma.
MMAmania.com will deliver LIVE round-by-round, blow-by-blow coverage of the entire Bellator 107 card this evening, starting with the "Prelims," which are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. ET online, and then main card action, which is slated to begin at 9 p.m. ET on Spike TV.
In the main event, former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter Cheick Kongo takes on Peter Graham in the finals of the Heavyweight tournament. Kongo is coming off a second round technical knockout victory over Mark Godbeer back at Bellator 102. With a win over Godbeer, Kongo will punch his ticket to a match-up with Heavyweight champ Alexander Volkov.
To do so he'll need to get through Graham, a former K1 kickboxer who remains undefeated over his past nine professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fights. With a win over the veteran Kongo, the Australian Graham would cement his name among American MMA fans, as well as earn a shot at the title.
In the co-main event, former Fight Master coach Joe Warren will lock horns with Travis Marx in the finals of the Bantamweight tournament. Warren is just 2-2 over his past four fights, so he is no doubt looking to make a statement against Marx and prove he has more than rebounded from past setbacks.
Marx is coming off an emphatic technical knockout victory over Brandon Bender at Bellator 100, so Warren will have his work cut out for him if he wants to earn a shot at Eduardo Dantas' title.
Elsewhere on the card, Brennan Ward will face Mikkel Parlo in the finals of the Middleweight tournament.
Ward has looked impressive en route to the finals, notching up a pair of stoppage victories over Justin Torrey and Joe Pacheco. Standing across from him will be Parlo, who although he won both of his tournament matches by way of decision, has only tasted defeat once in his 12-fight professional career.
