Bellator 142 ‘Dynamite’ Video Highlights: Liam McGeary vs. Tito Ortiz

On Saturday, Sept. 19, Bellator MMA and GLORY kickboxing joined forces for a mega-event dubbed Dynamite. The event took place from the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., and featured both a Bellator cage and a GLORY ring in the same arena.

In the night’s headlining affair, Bellator light heavyweight champion Liam McGeary made the first defense of his title against former UFC champion Tito Ortiz. McGeary earned the belt in February with a unanimous decision win over Emanuel Newton. Ortiz, meanwhile, aimed to continue his career resurgence in the Bellator cage by upsetting the Brit.

More gold was on the line on the main card as the vacant GLORY light heavyweight belt was up for grabs between Brazil’s Saulo Cavalari and Congo native Zack Mwekassa. The pair met previously at GLORY 18 with Cavalari scoring a third-round, head kick knockout.
