The fighters are weighed in and we only lost one of the OG match-ups when Ryan Couture's original opponent was forced out in favor of a (presumably) much easier opponent. 

Prelims likely kick off on Spike.com at 7pm ET tomorrow night followed by the main card on Spike TV at 9pm. 

A few guys I'm pretty interested in seeing on this one.

@nogfan- Beltran was pressuring newton towards the cage and throwing to the body. Newton threw a spinning back fist that connected on Beltran's chin and put him out.

That was an awesome KO, but it will take a while for me to forget how slow/tired Newton looked tonight. Bad weight cut, maybe?

What I enjoy so much about Newton is the fact he is able to make low percentage moves like that work.  Does he have the record now the most spinning back fist knockouts?

Probably. He did fight at heavyweight for a good bit and the guy is pretty stocky

The only issue I have with Newton is him constantly turning his back in pursuit of the spinning back fist. I could see some guys taking advantage of that with takedowns since he isn't squared up to defend them or taking his back.  Still awesome knockout.

Bellator usually has "dark matches" that aren't streamed or telecast.  Probably taking place right now.

They always blackout the good fights though. Reiter vs. Garcia is a fun fight.

Michael Stets @Michael_Stets · 59s

Garcia lands a superman punch to start. Reiter misses with a left. Both fighters tentative to engage. Low leg kick by Garcia.


Michael Stets @Michael_Stets · 12s

About 2 min left in 3rd. Reiter misses a left and then lands a nice takedown. Hes now on top in Garcia's guard. Cant land any clean shots
