As expected, eliminated competitor Neil Grove has reentered the Bellator season-five heavyweight tournament as an injury replacement for Blagoi Ivanov.
Grove, who suffered an opening-round/quarterfinal-round loss to Mike Hayes, now meets Thiago Santos in a semifinal fight at Saturday’s Bellator 56 event.
MMAjunkie.com first reported the change this past week, and Bellator executives recently made it official.
