Ward defeated Joe Pacheco in the opening bout of the Bellator 102 main card on Friday night at the Visalia Convention Center and Parlo used his striking to score a decision victory over Jason Butcher.

The winner of the tournament final between Ward and Parlo will win the $100,000 prize and will earn a title shot in the middleweight division. Current middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko will make his next title defense at Bellator 108 on November 15th against Doug Marshall.
