Bellator Rampage Vs. King Mo PPV Promo, Urijah Faber Books Next Fight, Glover Teixeira Update

By Dana Becker

- Bellator officials wasted no time in getting a new promotional video out for Bellator 120, as Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal are now the featured attraction. The card, which will be the first pay-per-view offering by Bellator, lost the original main event when Eddie Alvarez was forced out with a head injury.

Along with Jackson vs. Lawal in the Season 10 light heavyweight tournament final, Chandler will face Will Brooks for the interim lightweight title and Tito Ortiz will make his Bellator debut in a non-title fight against middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko.

The 30-second video, which you can view in the player above, features all six of those fighters. The event takes place Saturday.

- UFC 175 is shaping up to be quite the main card, as Urijah Faber and Alex Caceres have been added. The bantamweight bout was first reported by ESPN for the July 5 event that features middleweight champion Chris Weidman vs. Lyoto Machida and female bantamweight titleholder Ronda Rousey vs. Alexis Davis.

Faber (30-7) is coming off a loss to bantamweight champion Renan Barao that snapped a four-fight win streak for "The California Kid" that started after a 2012 loss to Barao. He remains unbeaten in non-title fights in his career.

Caceres (10-5) replied to a message on Twitter stating he would be honored to fight Faber, and the bout seemed to just come together from there. An alum of The Ultimate Fighter, "Bruce Leeroy" is unbeaten in his last five, going 4-0 with one win changed to a no-contest after he failed the post-fight drug test.

- Glover Teixeira will not need to go under the knife for an injured shoulder. The Brazilian confirmed on Twitter that his doctor said rest should help his torn labrum repair itself.

Teixeira (22-3) suffered the injury in the first round of his recent loss to UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. Teixeira, who lost for the first time since 2005, went the distance with "Bones."
