Linderman picked up a late stoppage victory over tourney favorite Raphael Davis.  Richard Hale put on an awesome display, submitting Nik Fekete with an impressive inverted triangle choke, as did Christian M’Pumbu, who scored a TKO win over Chris Davis.  All of the nights winners will advance to the semi-final round of Bellator‘s inagural Light Heavyweight tournament, which will take place later this season.
