When Bellator returns to action in April, it’s suffice to say the promotion is giving fans what it wants: a light heavyweight grand prix stacked with big names. The 205-pound tournament will kick off April 9 at Bellator 256 with two quarterfinal matchups: Ryan Bader vs. Lyoto Machida , and Corey Anderson vs. Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov . The other side of the bracket will play out the following week at Bellator 257, with champion Vadim Nemkov defending his title in a rematch with Phil Davis , and the matchup everyone can hardly wait to see – Anthony Johnson vs. Yoel Romero .
