To say our Season Five Bantamweight tournament is stacked is a gross understatement, said Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney. Warren-Vila is going to be absolutely explosive for as long as it lasts, and the inclusion of Dantas, Nogueira, Chase, Soto, Ed and Luis makes every single fight in this tournament a pick’em adventure. This should be an unbelievable tournament for our fans watching live on MTV2.
