MMAmania.com will provide LIVE coverage of the Bellator 117: "Lima vs. Hawn" main card below, starting with quick under card results from SpikeTV.com at 7 p.m. ET and then round-by-round, blow-by-blow coverage of the Spike TV main card matches, which are schedule to begin at 9 p.m. ET.

In the main event, Douglas Lima takes on Rick Hawn to determine the next Welterweight champion after long-time Ben Askren parted ways with the promotion late last year.

Hawn -- winner of the Season 9 Welterweight tournament -- comes into the fight riding a four-fight win streak. At 37 years of age, this may be the former Olympic judokas last shot at capturing Bellator gold. Standing in his way will be Lima, who won the 170-pound tournament back in Season 8. Like Hawn, Lima has also won his past four in a row, but at 26 years old, he has youth on his side.

Elsewhere on the card the semifinals of the Lightweight tournament will be determined when Patricky Pitbull faces Derek Campos and Marcin Held locks horns with Derek Anderson.

Round one: Andrew here. Pitbull in the black/white trunks with Campos in the grey. Campos feinting early and lands a few punches. Pitbull lands a hard jab.

He lands a nice combination while Pitbull's back is against the cage. Very active lead hand for "The Stallion," who's starting to find his range. Nice double jab for Campos.

10-9 for Campos on my scorecard.

Close round, but I give it to Held 10-9 for the submission attempts and positional control. Anderson landed better punches though.

170-pound feature fight: Karl Amoussou vs. David Gomez

Round one: Amoussou, who will henceforth be refereed to as Psycho, is in the blue and Gomez is in the red. Gomez lands a leg kick, and Psycho returns with one. Psycho is bouncing around and feinting quite a bit, then trying to hop in with a combination. He's clearly the quicker man. A lot of missing by both men so far. Nice counter left hook lands for Psycho. A leg kick for Gomez strays low, but they fight on. Psycho gets too aggressive with some boxing on the inside and gets stumbled a little by a counter. Gomez does not pursue, and he recovers. Psycho is controlling the range with his boxing  well. Some nice jabs and double jabs from Psycho.

10-9 Amoussou for landing more clean punches.

Round two: Psycho opens the second round with some body kicks. He still looks fresh. The Frenchman lands a solid trip from the clinch and lands in full guard. He lands some punches then drops back on a heel hook! It looks tight, but Gomez rolls out and is back to his feet. Gomez does a good job nullifying his opponent's clinch strikes and escaping back to the center of the cage. Psycho is starting to slow down a little bit, and Gomez is landing some hard punches. Psycho lands a strong combination of his own then works back into the clinch. The fight moves back into the center, and both men are tired. Gomez is starting to land his left hook and leg kicks.

Very close round, but I'll give it 10-9 Gomez for doing more damage.

Round three: Another strong leg kick opens the round for Gomez, who seems to be the fresher and busier fighter. Sharp jab lands for Gomez. Psycho really wants a clinch takedown, but he's moving in slow motion. Gomez spins off the cage and lands an uppercut. Psycho starts to land some punches and knees. He then pressures Gomez into the cage. Either Gomez has tired, or Psycho found his second wind. Psycho cannot get a takedown, but his dirty boxing and knees are winning him the fight. Gomez is too tired to escape the clinch. Psycho lets go off the clinch, and the two men swing to the finish.

10-9 Amoussou for his dirty boxing and aggression. Not his best performance, but he should get the win.

Final result: Karl Amoussou defeats David Gomez via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)
