To take it's place on the televised card is the debut of Sengoku veteran Ronnie Mann. Join us at BloodyElbow.com for the Bellator Season 4 Light Heavyweight tournament semifinals pairings this Saturday, April 23rd, live on MTV2 at 9 p.m. ET:

Oh no, I was really looking forward to that amazing Buentello – Konrad superfight!

Just kidding. But really, this card looks even sadder now. Ratings will not be good.

They really should stop using the term "Superfight"

I actually don’t mind, just another way to make the distinction from their tournament fights and the occasional title fight. But it’s easy to poke fun at them.

Ouch.

This is not an exciting card.

Bellator 42: How Hardcore are You?

Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

I feel like I’m the only one excited for the LHW tournament. The field was rather unheralded coming in but I saw some talent in the first round. Can’t wait to find out who the winner is.

Can't wait to see Ronnie Mann back in action

I expected Judo Jim to do a lot better against Hawn so hopefully Mann can do more than represent in Bellator

Richard Hale is hella rad, his invertisimo triangle on Fekete was crazy. Crazy!

As for Ronnie Mann, I hate to say it but all I remember him for is being victim of a sweeeet triangle from mount by Hatsu Hioki. I never saw his other Sengoku fights…
