Friday's Bellator 110 lineup finalized, Yamauchi vs. Martinez to main card

Friday’s Bellator 110 fight card, which kicks off the organization’s 10th season, has undergone some small changes and has a new main-card bout.

Bellator 110 takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The main card, including a Quinton “Rampage” Jackson vs. Christian M’Pumbu headliner and light-heavyweight tournament semifinal, airs on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com.

Although originally scheduled for the preliminary card, a featherweight-tournament opening-round bout between Goiti Yamauchi (16-1 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) and Will Martinez (8-2-1 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) has been promoted to the televised main card. As a result, another featherweight tourney bout, Daniel Weichel (31-8 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) vs. Scott Cleve (14-3 MMA, 1-0 BMMA), is now part of the prelims.

The prelims have two other changes. Heavyweight Manny Lara (4-4 MMA, 0-3 BMMA) has replaced Chris Birchler (5-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and now meets Josh Diekman (14-5 MMA, 1-0 BMMA).

Additionally, bantamweight Marvin Maldonado (1-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) has replaced Jake Smith (0-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and now meets Rico DiSciullo (1-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA).
