| http://mmajunkie.com/news/18616/joe-duarte-replaces-janne-tulirinta-meets-carey-vanier-in-bellator-13-tourney-fight.mmaVisa issues have forced Janne Tulirinta (12-3 MMA, 0-0 BFC) out of Bellator Fighting Championships' season-two lightweight tourney and a fight with Carey Vanier (7-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) at tomorrow's Bellator 13 event, Bellator officials today announced. Promotional newcomer Joe Duarte (5-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC), a former U.S. Army Ranger, replaces Tulirinta in the eight-man tourney field. Since hitting the Southern California fight circuit, Duarte has posted a 5-1 record with four stoppage wins. He was chosen for the UFC's reality series, "The Ultimate Fighter 8," but suffered an elimination-round loss to eventual show runner-up Phillipe Nover and never made the cast. | |
