The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida is the venue for Bellator Fighting Championships third season opener, Bellator 24. The show is being broadcast live on the Fox Sports Network.
Bellator 24 features the opening rounds of the women’s 115 pound and mens’s heavyweight tournaments. Headlining the event is a middleweight non-title bout between Bellator champ Hector Lombard and Herbert Goodman.
Bouts of Nico Parella vs. Efrain Ruiz and Frank Carrillo vs. Moyses Gabin have both been scratched from the untelevised portion of the card. A source close to the organization told (www.mmajunkie.com) that Parella pulled his groin and Gabin suffered a broken foot, which forced both off the card.
