The odds for Bellator 140 are up at the sport books, with the five main card fights set to air on SpikeTV up at the books. All five are welterweight fights as Bellator showcases one of their stronger divisions. The main event features a five-round title defense for champion Douglas Lima (26-5) as he faces the challenge of Russia’s Andrey Koreshkov (17-1).
The rest of the welterweight fights feature a wode array of talent. Britain is especially well represented, as undefeated up-and-coming prospect Michael Page (7-0) faces veteran Rudy Bears (16-13), and tested ring warrior Paul Daley (36-13-1) faces Dennis Olson (14-8).
Top notch wrestler and undefeated prospect Chris Honeycutt (6-0) faces veteran wrestler Paul Bradley (22-6) as he tries to continue his rise up the Bellator rankings.

The Lima-Koreshkov fight is a high-level match featuring two of Bellator’s best talents. Both men’s sole losses in their Bellator careers have come to former champion Ben Askren. But with Askren moving on to OneFC in Asia and vacating the belt, this is clearly a battle of the number one and number two guys on the welterweight roster. The expectation is that the veteran striker Paul Daley will earn the next title shot just as long as he defeats Olson. Daley was scheduled to fight Lima for the belt this past February but the match came apart.
