Bellator 104: Results and Event Recap
Bellator 104, held on October 18, 2013, at the U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was a night of intense action and unforgettable fights. The event was headlined by the welterweight rematch between Rick Hawn and Brent Weedman, a fight that ended much like their first encounter in 2012, with Hawn earning a unanimous decision victory.
Hawn’s superior boxing skills were on full display as he outworked Weedman for the entire 15 minutes of the fight. Despite Weedman’s attempts to clinch and bring the fight to the ground, Hawn’s stiff counter left sent his opponent to the canvas. Although Weedman showed better movement in the second round, he struggled to land anything of consequence. Hawn continued to dominate the fight with his crisp shots and outworked his opponent, leading to his victory.
The co-main event of the evening saw Ron Keslar face off against War Machine in the welterweight tournament semifinals. Keslar emerged victorious, securing a first-round submission victory via a rear-naked choke. This win advanced Keslar to the finals of Bellator’s Season 9 welterweight tournament, where he would face Hawn for a shot at the title.
In the middleweight division, Kendall Grove secured a unanimous decision victory over Joe Vedepo. Grove’s effective striking was the key to his victory, although his lack of takedown defense was a concern.

In the lightweight division, Paul Sass made a brilliant debut in Bellator, defeating Rod Montoya via a first-round submission with a toe hold.
