yup that's what bellator and the tv schedual says

Great they are airing live. Learning from their mistakes i hope.

Can't help but feel Manhoef got screwed a 2nd time though. even though they aren't fighting. Now no idea when that fight'll take place. Manhoef should have that title.

Bellator should have made an interim title after Carvalho pulled out, and then hired someone to Nancy Kerrigan Carvalho so he would get stripped.

I read that after Carvalho pulled out, Manhoef would only fight for the title and nothing else, so that eliminates a fight with Salter who is in this card. I think it's not necessary to create an interim title so I am happy.

I just kind of want Carvalho to lose 10 straight fights by KO and retire after that horrible fight, and the fouls, and celebrating like he did something amazing afterward and didn't win a robbery decision in one of the worst fights I've ever seen.
