Is Bellator Tourney final five rounds?

[JustOnce]

Anyone know?

Yes, since it's for the HW belt as well as the tournament championship. But the WW tourney, every fight in the tourney besides alternates is 5 rounds because the belt will be on the line every time the champ at the time (currently Rory) fights. So Rory is defending against Fitch, then the winner of that is defending against the winner of Gracie/Ruth, and then the winner of that defends against the winner of the other bracket (Lima vs Daley/MVP).

Funny that prospects Ed Ruth and Nieman Gracie are essentially in a number 1 contenders bout and the actual next up contenders(save Fitch) are all on the other side of the bracket
