Bellator MMA’s Season 10 middleweight tournament has gotten a shakeup with a pair of reserve fighters being elevated into the semifinals. Friday’s Bellator 116 fight between Joe Pacheco (7-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) and Brandon Halsey (5-0 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) has been switched from a reserve bout in the tournament to a tourney semifinal. Bellator officials announced the change on Tuesday, with the new fight taking the place of the previously scheduled semifinal between Jeremy Kimball (10-4 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) and Dan Cramer (10-4 MMA, 7-2 BMMA). This past Thursday, the Kimball-Cramer semifinal bout was pulled from Bellator 115 when Kimball came in so far overweight, a source close to the promotion told MMAjunkie, that he wasn’t even part of the official weigh-in ceremony.
