Bellator on Monday announced a May 14 qualifier for its Season 5 welterweight tournament, which will take place this fall.
Former Bellator welterweight champion Lyman Good and Dan Hornbuckle will meet at Bellator 44, with the winner getting a spot in the tournament.
Good (11-2) won the welterweight title in Bellator’s first season two years ago. But after a layoff of 16 months, he lost the belt to Ben Askren in his first defense. Earlier this month, after a win over Chris Lozano in the Season 4 welterweight tourney quarterfinals, Good lost a split decision to Rick Hawn in the semifinals.
