By FCF Staff

Will Brooks and Alexander “Tiger” Sarnavskiy advanced to the finals of Bellator’s latest lightweight tourney tonight in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, by defeating Saad Awad and Ricardo Tirloni respectively.

Brooks avenged a previous stoppage loss to Awad by turning to his wrestling to score a unanimous decision win. In the other semifinal, Sarnavskiy floored Tirloni with an early spinning backfist, and produced the tap-out not long after with a triangle-choke.
