With no UFC events this week, Bellator has a chance to take center stage and they're doing so with a somewhat odd fight card offering. In the main event, longtime UFC & Strikeforce veteran Josh Thomson takes on relatively unknown Pablo Villaseca in what has all the hallmarks of a showcase fight for "The Punk." The co-main is probably the best booked bout of the evening with former title contender Daniel Weichel taking on Georgi Karakhanyan fresh off the Russian-born Armenian-American fighter's return from injury. The bout could set Karakhanyan back up for a shot at the featherweight title if he can get the win.
