We’re down to a four-man field in Bellator’s latest grand prix. After Bellator 282 a week ago, the semifinals are set in the ongoing bantamweight tournament, and that field includes the interim champion. Danny Sabatello has stormed onto the scene thanks to his brash, trash-talking persona. But he’s been backing it up in the cage and now is set to fight interim titleholder Raufeon Stots for a trip to the final – with the belt on the line, as well – later this year. And on the other side of the bracket, Bellator 282 winner Magomed Magomedov is matched up against sometimes-training partner Patchy Mix . Of the four, who will be left standing at the end of the tournament?
