Bellator 163: "McGeary vs. Davis" goes down at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., on Nov. 4, 2016, featuring an exciting Light Heavyweight main event between division champion Liam McGeary against No. 1 contender "Mr. Wonderful" Phil Davis.
Several recently-announced bouts have just completed Spike TV's main card, including the return of a literally explosive Bellator fighter, Paul Daley. "Semtex" has won five of his last six fights, with his only loss coming to the returning "Phenom" Douglas Lima, who showed off his power by hurting Daley early -- usually hurting fighters early is the Brit's forte -- and using that striking to earn a decision win.
Perhaps that's the reason the experienced kickboxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran is eager to get back in the cage. His opponent, "Barbaric" Derek Anderson usually fights at Lightweight, but after taking a decision over part time Welterweight fighter Saad Awad at Bellator 160, he may feel he matches up well with Daley coming off a loss.
Speaking of Awad, he's returning to Welterweight again for what's sure to be an exciting striking battle with "Irish Bad Boy" Brennan Ward, while Sergei Kharitonov will finally get to showcase his skills in Bellator against Javy Ayala.
