Next week's Bellator 69 card finalized with tourney fights, Fujii vs. Aguilar

The lineup for next week's Bellator 69 event is set with nine fights.

The event takes place May 18 at L'Auberge du Lac Casino Resort in Lake Charles, La.

Two tournament fights, including the season-six middleweight-tournament finale between rivals Maiquel Falcao (30-4 MMA, 2-0 BFC) and Andreas Spang (8-1 MMA, 1-0 BFC), co-headline Bellator 69.

Bellator 69's main card airs on MTV2 (and in high-definition on EPIX), and Spike.com streams the prelims.

Although initially expected at Bellator 70, Falcao vs. Spang instead takes place a week prior at Bellator 69. After winning their respective semifinal fights at Bellator 66, the fighters got into a brief in-cage scuffle during a photo opportunity. Spang, a late-replacement in the tourney who initiated the shoving match, avoided a suspension but was fined 20 percent of his purse.

The Falcao vs. Spang winner meets Alexander Shlemenko (45-7 MMA, 7-1 BFC) later this year for the Bellator middleweight title, which Hector Lombard recently vacated with his move to the UFC.

Also on the main card is a season-six welterweight-tourney semifinal of Karl Amoussou (14-4-2 MMA, 2-1 BFC) vs. David Rickels (10-0 MMA, 2-0 BFC). Additionally, a previously announced 115-pound fight of Megumi Fujii (25-1 MMA, 3-1 BFC) vs. Jessica Aguilar (13-4 MMA, 3-1 BFC) is set, as is a heavyweight clash between Ron Sparks (8-1 MMA, 3-1 BFC) and Kevin Asplund (15-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC), who carries a 15-fight win streak.

Slated for the prelims are heavyweights Abe Wagner (10-5 MMA, 0-1 BFC) vs. Mark Holata (11-3 MMA, 2-1 BFC), welterweights Andrey Koreshkov (9-0 MMA, 1-0 BFC) vs. Derrick Krantz (11-5 MMA, 1-0 BFC), lightweights Kalvin Hackney (11-2 MMA, 0-1 BFC) vs. Emanuel "E.J." Brooks (6-0 MMA, 3-0 BFC), light heavyweights Josh Burns (6-5 MMA, 0-2 BFC) vs. Richard Hale (18-4-1 MMA, 3-1 BFC), and lightweights Josh Quayhagen (3-0 MMA, 2-0 BFC) vs. Cliff Wright (6-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC).
