- Full Name: Anthony Morrison
Originally, a bout pitting former Bellator welterweight champion Lyman Good against Dan Hornbuckle was to serve as one of the four main-card bouts for this evenings card. However, after Good suffered an injury in the lead up to the event, officials failed to find a suitable opponent to replace Lyman and so Hornbuckle was removed from the card altogether.

Miller scored a sure takedown, but Morrison grabbed the cage to keep his feet. The referee immediately took a point. ...
