If you’re heading to Silicon Valley for this week’s Bellator 199 card, you have some fight-week events available to attend.

Bellator 199 takes place Saturday at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., and the main card airs on Paramount after prelims on MMAjunkie.

In the main event, Muhammed Lawal (21-6 MMA, 10-4 BMMA) and Ryan Bader (24-5 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) meet in the opening round of Bellator’s ongoing heavyweight grand prix tournament. The winner will advance to the semifinals and a fight with Matt Mitrione.
