Bellator will be holding a three-tier show on September 19 at the SAP Center in San Jose, California and the fight card will be headlined by Liam McGeary defending the Bellator light heavyweight title against Tito Ortiz.
The second tier of the show will be a Glory Kickboxing card that will feature Bellator fighters Joe Schilling and Paul Daley.
The third tier of the show will be a one night, four-man light heavyweight tournament featuring Phil Davis, Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal, Emanuel Newton, and Linton Vassell. The opening round matchups have not been determined at this time and the winner of this tournament will secure a title shot against the winner of the title fight between McGeary and Ortiz.
“I’m so proud and honored to bring this truly amazing event to my hometown of San Jose,” said Bellator President Scott Coker. “This mega-card will feature something for every combat sports fan- MMA legends, rising stars, a stacked tournament, plus many of the world’s best kickboxers. It will be an unforgettable night for the thousands in attendance and the millions watching at home.”
