Roger Huerta Expected To Take Part In Bellator 155lb Tourney

According to a report on MMAJunkie.com, Roger "El Matador" Huerta is expected to sign with Bellator FC this week to take part in their season 2 lightweight tourney.

Huerta was formally released from the UFC this week and Bellator is holding a press conference via their website on Monday at 3pm to likely announce the signing of the popular lightweight.

The lightweight pool for the tournament right now includes: Toby Imada (23-13), Jorge Masvidal (19-5), Chad Hinton (6-0), Mike Ricci (5-0), Ferrid Kheder (16-5), Janne Tulirinta (12-3), and Carey Vanier (7-2). With a tournament victory Huerta, or any of the tournament entries will earn a crack at Bellator Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez

That is a very exciting looking tournament! Gamebred, Alvarez and Huerta all know how to mix it up so I'm looking forward to some great matches from Bellator. Another quality tournament by the organisation (I just hope it plays out as well as it looks!)

More great news for Bellator the last season was fantastic and this season looks even better It is a shame there will be no chance of this airing in the UK.
