Bellator Confirms Edwards vs. Palomino for Aug. 12th
By FCF Staff Just days removed from Bellator Fighting Championship’s 24th card Thursday night in Hollywood, Florida, the promotion has added a notable lightweight tilt between Yves Edwards and Luis Palomino to the line-up. The event, which will be broadcast live on Fox Sports Net, will be hosted by Hollywood’s Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

Palomino (13-5) is currently running a 3 fight winning streak and is 4-1 in his last five fights. The Florida fighter has fought under the Bellator banner 4 times to date, compiling a 3-1 record. In June, Palomino worked his way to a UD victory over Jose Figueroa, at Bellator 21.
Other previously announced bouts scheduled for Bellator 24 include:
-Bellator Middleweight Champion Hector Lombard (26-2-1) vs. Herbert “Whisper” Goodman (15-8) in a non-title affair
-action from the opening-round of Bellator’s Women’s World Championship Tournament as Megumi Fujii will meet Angela Magana and Lynn “Lights Out” Alvarez will fight Jessica Aguilar.
-UFC vet Eddie Sanchez will take on Neil “Goliath” Grove in the opening round of Bellator’s heavyweight tourney.
