Never heard of Bellator until I was watching this live on Comcast Sportsnet 🙂

That guy Lombard's gonna hold his title a while. Especially since Bellator is like a minor league UFC from what I can tell
 
I wouldn't call Bellator a minor league.. they are pretty much #3 in MMA right now.. behind UFC and Strikeforce.. and they are only in their 2nd year. They have top fighters like Eddie Alvarez (#3 Lightweight in the World) and Roger Huerta (who just got beat in a great fight with Pat Curran.. cousin of Jeff Curran.. in a 3 round decision).

They fight in a tournament setting to determine who will fight for the championship against the current champion for each weight class. Last year was their first tournament, and each division determined a champion. They had 3 divisions last year - Lightweight (155 lbs), Welterweight (170 lbs), and Middleweight (185 lbs).. this year they added the Featherweight division (145 lbs) to their tournament schedule.
 
Bellator is becoming known for great fights and finishes I'm sure Paulo Filho's happy he had visa issues now
