Bellator will be returning to Casino Rama in Canada for Bellator 119 on May 9th and the fight card will be headlined by the finals in the season ten middleweight and featherweight tournaments.
The complete fight card was announced by Bellator today.
Bellator 117 will broadcast live at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT on Spike TV and the preliminary card will be streamed live on Spike.com beginning at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT. Tickets for the event are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.ca, Bellator.com, or by visiting the Casino Rama Box Office.
The middleweight final will be the main event of the fight card as Brett Cooper (20-9) looks to secure another middleweight title shot as he faces Brandon Halsey (6-0). Cooper punched his ticket into the finals by defeating Kendall Grove early this month and Halsey used his wrestling base to score a decision over Joe Pacheco at last week’s Bellator 116.
The co-main event of the fight card will be the final in the featherweight tournament as Daniel Weichel (33-8) will look to remain undefeated in Bellator as he faces Desmond Green (11-2). The winner will join the line of contenders to get a title shot at the Bellator featherweight title and will likely get there title shot sometime in 2015.
Along with the tournament finals, the main card will feature Chris Horodecki returning to the organization to face Marlon Sandro and undefeated heavyweight Raphael Butler will kick off the main card against an opponent to be determined.
