Bellator 141 fight card: Heavyweights Lorenzo Hood and Raphael Butler added to Spike TV line up

The build up to Bellator 141: "Guillard vs. Girtz" continues. And Lightweight Melvin Guillard -- who headlines the Spike TV-televised card opposite Brandon Girtz -- won't be the only fighter on the card making his promotional debut.

Bellator MMA has announced a Heavyweight slugfest that open the televised broadcast on Aug. 28, 2015, inside Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California.

"The Samoan Silverback" Lorenzo Hood (9-2) -- a powerful finisher with nine wins by way of knockout and has never had a professional fight go past the first round -- will step into the Bellator cage for the first time ever.

Not all of those finishes are standing strikes, either. In his most recent fight Hood pulled a page out of Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's playbook, finishing his opponent via a hard-hitting power bomb to the canvas.

Standing in his way is professional boxer-turned mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Raphael Butler (9-1-1), who will look to put together his first win streak since 2013 coming off an impressive standing guillotine choke of Josh Diekmann at Bellator 134.
