Weekend TV Guide: Bellator 9
Jake Rossen May 29, 2009
Friday brings the ninth installment of ESPN Deportes’ Bellator
Fighting Championships and, with it, one of the better main events
in the promotion’s short history: Cuban Judo animal Hector
Lombard will tackle Army ranger James
Damien Stelly to determine one of the finalists for the
middleweight title next month.
Lombard knocked out Virgil Lozano in just over a minute in April’s quarter-final match; Stelly decisioned former Lion’s Den fighter Alex Andrade the same night.
If you’re wondering what the hell happened to Bellator 8, it turns out the company labeled a best-of show with that number. Installment 9, taped in Monroe, La., airs on ESPN Deportes on Saturday.
