Chris Lozano won a unanimous decision over Bellator veteran Brent Weedman to advance to the semifinals of Bellator’s welterweight tournament Saturday night in Atlantic City.
All four quarterfinal bouts were held Saturday. The winner of the tournament will face current Bellator Welterweight champion Ben Askren.
Weedman was making his second straight appearance in a Bellator welterweight bracket, having advanced to the semifinals in April of this year before losing to eventual tournament victor Jay Hieron. Lozano lost in the quarterfinals of the same tournament.
Weedman came out strong, dropping Lozano with a right hand, then adding a lift and slam takedown. Lozano countered with a throw of his own, but Weedman got behind Lozano and took him down with a suplex throw. He got back control but couldn’t sink in a choke.
After dropping the first round, Lozano took control in the second round with striking. He stunned Weedman with a pair of punches while they were clinching early in the round.
Lozano followed up with a knee and flurry of punches that had Weedman wobbly.
Weedman landed solid punches of his own as the two fighters seemed to exhaust themselves throwing punches, but a three-punch combination from Lozano at the end clinched the round for him.
The two fighters exchanged takedowns in the third, with Lozano spending more time in top position. All three judges had the score 29-28 for Lozano, as did AHN’s unofficial scorecard.
Lozano won his third straight and moved to 9-1. It was the first decision win of his career.
Weedman lost his second straight and fell to 18-7-1.
Ben Saunders also advanced to the semifinals with a knockout of Chris Cisneros. Saunders recorded an early throw takedown in the first, then spent about three minutes in top position, moving to full mount.
In the second, Saunders again got the takedown and attempted to end the bout, first with a kimura, then with a series of punches to the head while he had Cisneros mounted in a crucifix.
In the third, Saunders threw a pair of knees to Cisneros’ head, followed by a pair to the head. Some ground and pound ended the fight at 29 seconds of the third.
Saunders got his third straight win and second straight by knockout. He improved to 11-3-2. Cisneros saw the end to a seven fight win streak and stands at 13-4.
In a third quarterfinal, Luis Santos upset Bellator veteran Dan Hornbuckle.
Hornbuckle was making his third appearance in a Bellator tournament, advancing to the finals once. He couldn’t match the activity level of Santos, however.
Santos used leg kicks and counter punches to take control of the fight. He dropped Hornbuckle with a counter punch early in the fight and nearly ended the bout in the last 30 seconds with a head kick and flurry of punches.
All three judges gave Santos every round, as did AHN’s unofficial scorecard, for a 30-27 win.
Santos recorded his fiftieth career win, against six losses and a draw. Hornbuckle fell to 22-5 with his second straight loss.
The final spot in the semifinals will be filled by Douglas Lima, who beat Steve Carl in a unanimous decision to open the show.
Carl knocked Lima down with a right early in the fight, but Lima responded with an upkick and submission attempt from the bottom.
Lima added two takedowns in the second and one in the third as Carl pulled him on top of him into guard. Carl appeared to hurt his leg on a kick that Lima checked early in the third. Lima moved into full mount and tried to sink in a choke late in the third.
Two judges gave Lima a 30-27 shutout, as did AHN’s unofficial scorecard. The third judge had Lima winning 29-28.
