With a hard-fought victory over Brian Davidson at Wednesday’s Bellator 16 event, Danny Tims has earned a spot in Bellator Fighting Championships’ season-three bantamweight tournament later this year, CEO Bjorn Rebney today announced.
The announcement confirms the organization’s plans for a first-ever 135-pound tournament.
As MMAjunkie.com first reported in March, Bellator is expected to host tournaments in four new weight classes in this fall’s third season: bantamweight, light heavyweight, heavyweight and a women’s division (weight class TBD).
