Alright boys and girls, Bellator kicks off Season 7 tonight with the Welterweight Tournament Quarterfinals. Key guys to watch are former Bellator Champion Lyman Good, Marius Zaromskis and a couple of bad ass Russians, Michail Tsarev and Andrey Koreshkov. Korseshkov is one of the top prospects in the world at 170 pounds. It will be interesting to see how he does in this tourney.

Good won by decision, good fight, felt like Good could have went for the close a couple times and didn't Zaromskis dominated a UD, he had him almost out on his feet a couple times but got real sloppy and wild. Cost him the stoppage IMO Tsarev won by rear naked choke. Welch was never really in it. Koreshkov by UD, great back and forth action. I like Koreshkov like Trp. He dominated the stand up could land almost at will. Jordan Smith caught him 3 or 4 real nice sub attempts. Andrey looks like he needs to work on sub defense. He obviously got out of them, but more so on powering out of them rather than technique. Anyone that has never see Koreshkov here is a highlight link. The music sucks balls but definitely is a good watch. enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKepb0M8WRg
