Lyman Good announced for season-four Bellator welterweight tournament

Former Bellator title holder Lyman Good will not sulk in his lone career defeat.

The dynamic welterweight star will return to the cage for the upcoming season-four 170-pound tournament, in order to vie for the promotion’s title once again and bank in another $100k.

Good was the inaugural champion, having defeated a slew of opponents in an exciting tournament bracket which featured the likes of King of the Cage veteran Hector Urbina and Sengoku vet Omar de la Cruz–who Good defeated in June of 2009 to claim the welterweight title in the finals of the Bellator tourney.

Lyman eventually met with Olympic wrestler Ben Askren, a product of American Top Team and the Lions Den who was able to nullify all of Good’s submission skills and obvious stand up prowess. In a gritty 25-minute affair, Askren was able to dominate Good en route to a decision win, snatching the New York natives’ welterweight crown.

The loss to Askren was his lone defeat in his stellar mixed martial arts career. During his time spent with Bellator, and just before the loss to Ben, Lyman went on a 3-0 run courtesy of the tournament, finishing all of his opponents inside of two-rounds.

Good will be a welcomed addition to an already stacked season-four field, which features last season’s finalist Dan Hornbuckle among others.

So, MMA peeps, what do you make of Good and his participation in the upcoming tourney? Will he have a chance to reach the finals once again, capture an additional $100k and seek revenge against Askren? Sound off in the comment section below.
