Bellator Fighting Championships' sixth season is rapidly approaching, and the company is starting to lay out some of the details. Bellator officials today announced that the second event of the season, Bellator 61, will take place on March 16 at the Horseshoe Riverdome in Bossier City, La. The event sees a rematch between season-five heavyweight tournament finalists Eric Prindle (7-1 MMA, 3-0 BFC) and Thiago Santos (10-1 MMA, 2-0 BFC), as well as the four opening-round contests in the promotion's season-six middleweight tournament. "Louisiana's been an amazing home to Bellator," Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney stated. "Our last two Louisiana events were spectacular sell-outs, so bringing Bellator to Bossier City was an easy decision to make. This Prindle-Santos fight has war written all over it, and both of these guys have taken this huge fight very personally. March 16 should be a great night." As with all of Bellator's season-six events, Bellator 61 airs on MTV2 and Spike.com. Read more: http://mmajunkie.com/news/27162/louisiana-hosts-bellator-61-heavyweight-tourney-finale-rematch.mma
