The fourth season of Bellator Fighting Championships started Thursday night on MTV2 with Brent Weedman, Rick Hawn, Jay Hieron and Lyman Good winning their fights and advancing to the semifinals of Bellator’s welterweight tournament.

It was a good start to Season 4 for Bellator, and a solid if not spectacular fight card, although it wasn’t without controversy, particularly in Hieron’s victory, which came on a bad stoppage with a referee who made a major mistake.

Weedman’s unanimous decision victory over Dan Hornbuckle was a sensational bout, with back-and-forth ground action that had both guys in danger of being submitted multiple times. All three judges scored it 29-28 for Weedman, but it easily could have gone 29-28 for Hornbuckle, and many of the fans in Lemoore, California, booed the judges’ verdict. Weedman was classy, saying, “Dan’s the toughest opponent I’ve ever faced in over 30 fights.” Weedman had what appeared to be a significant cut on his left eyelid, which will bear watching as he needs to return for the semifinals in less than two months.
