This will be a change from the organization’s prior plains, with the scheduled middleweight tournament having been cancelled. Although Bellator have yet to name any of the fighters in the eight-man single elimination competition they are claiming that they already have six of the participants confirmed. Season 4 will be the first season on Bellator’s new home of MTV2 and will start in March.
