There's a lot of MMA this week. Bellator and WSOF are going head to head on Friday, with competing cards. The World Series of Fighting will be taking things in a new direction with an 8-man, one-night tournament featuring a host of recognizable names including Jorge Patino, Brian Foster, and Luis Palomino. While just across the remote, Bellator will put a 15 fight card starting online and ending on Spike TV. The main event features MW action fighters Hisaki Kato (the man who KO'd Joe Schilling) vs. Melvin Manhoef. Top women's bantamweight contender Julia Budd will also be fighting along with featherweight prospect Bubba Jenkins. Neither card is quite "must watch" MMA, but there are a lot of solid bouts for fans looking for something to do on a Friday night.
