Bellator Fighting Championships returns TONIGHT (Sept. 7, 2013) at The Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut, with the debut of season nine featuring a middleweight title fight and the middleweight tournament quarterfinals.
MMAmania.com will provide LIVE blow-by-blow, round-by-round coverage of Bellator 98 below, beginning with the Spike TV telecast at 8 p.m. ET. In addition, we'll deliver up-to-the-minute quick results of all the undercard action much earlier in the evening (beginning at 6:00 p.m. ET), as well as a live stream of the preliminary action.
Headlining the main event will be a middleweight title fight between champion Alexander Shlemenko and challenger Brett Cooper. Cooper was recently a runner-up in the Bellator season eight middleweight tournament but is stepping up as the first fighter to cash in on the new Bellator injury replacement clause as Doug Marshall was unable to compete.
Joe Warren was supposed to fight in the co-main event but was not medically cleared by the local commission.
Last but not least, the season nine middleweight tournament will be kicking off with the quarterfinals as top contenders Jeremy Kimball, Brian Rogers, Jason Butcher, Giva Santana and more all vie for a shot at the title.
