It's Thursday and do you know what that means? More BELLATOR! Featured tonight on Fox Sports Net is more MMA action from Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.Fighting tonight will be star-on-the-rise, Dan Hornbuckle. Facing off against Tyler Stinson in the welterweight tournament quarter-final, Hornbuckle carries with him a 19-2 record and a four fight win streak, all of which have been finishes. Hornbuckle has not lost in nearly two years.
Tyler Stinson, winner of the Kansas City open tryout, holds a 16-5 record and a three fight win streak, all of which have been finishes. At only 24 years old, Stinson has great potential and could turn out to be a great acquisition for BELLATOR.
This fight could steal the show tonight. Hornbuckle is always game to trade. His head kick KO of Akihiro Gono was unbelievable and I think most fans are looking for something similar.
Two other welterweight tournament bouts will be taking place tonight as Brett Cooper and Steve Carl face off in a quarter-final match up. The final welterweight tournament bout pits Ryan Thomas (handed a loss against Ben Aksren thanks to Referee Dave Smith) against Jacob McClintock.
I predict semi-finals of Askren vs Cooper and Hornbuckle vs McClintock. I think the finals come down to Ben Aksren vs Dan Hornbuckle which has the potential to be F.O.Y.
