Bellator Fighting Championships is finally returning for its 2011 season. I personally can't wait to see BFC back in action and wanted to create a general banter thread for it. Of course, this thread will also be used to keep the tournaments and shows updated as well. So here it is, the first show and beginning of the first tournament of the 2011 season.
The WW tournament will kick off tonight and my god do we have some awesome fights they may go down in the Semifinals, but those guys have to get through the first round first. Jay Hieron, Lyman Good and Dan Hornbuckle are all exciting fighters and are the favorite to win this whole thing. Good is a former champion, Hornbuckle is a BFC veteran and Hieron is just a well rounded fighter who has fought a long time.
It will also be interesting to see how Zoila Frausto does. This woman is a beast and one of the more entertaining female fighters to watch.
Should be a great show to kick of the 2011 season and the WW tournament. The card for next week will be updated as soon as BFC 35 has concluded.
