There might not be any Octagon action going on this weekend, but there will be some scrappin’ inside the circular cage in Florida. “Bellator MMA: Awad vs. Rickel” takes place Thursday inside Sun Dome in Tampa.
A pair of tournament finals headline the fight card. Emanuel Newton and Mikhail Zayats meet in the light heavyweight finals, while David Rickels and Saad Awad collide in the lightweight finale.
