Bellator’s Welterweight Tournament brackets are once again complete after Mark Scanlon and Matt Riddle were forced to withdraw due to injury. Riddle apparently retired from mixed martial arts, as well.

Rick Hawn (pictured) and Ron Keslar have agreed to serve as substitutes on Friday.

Hawn will face Herman Terrado, while Keslar battles Sergio Junior inside Phoenix’s Grand Canyon University.

Justin Baesman vs. Brent Weedman and Vaughn Anderson vs. War Machine are the tourney’s other quarterfinals matchups, which will also take place this weekend.

The long awaited Welterweight Tournament Finals between Douglas Lima and Ben Saunders headlines the gig.
