Grand Prix Bellator semifinals in the heavyweights are scheduled for October. It is expected that the battles between Fedor Emelianenko and Chael Sonnen, as well as Matt Mitrione and Ryan Bader will not be a part of one tournament, but can take place with a difference of several hours.
"We will try to have these fights in close proximity to each other. I want both semifinals to be as close as possible in time," said Bellator President Scott Coker.
