The heavyweights headline Bellator Fighting Championships second event of the Season Seven Tournament.
Bellator 75 is scheduled to take place on Friday, October 5, 2012 at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana with the main card airing on MTV2 and the preliminary card streaming live on Spike.com.
The heavyweight quarterfinal event is headlined by a rematch between Season Five finalists, Eric Prindle and Thiago Santos. Both fighters squared off last November at Bellator 59 in the tournament final, with the fight ending in a “No Contest” just 1:24 into the first round. Both men were re-scheduled to fight in Season Six but both matches were called after Prindle came down with “flu-like” symptoms after the first date and Santos came in 12-lbs overweight for the second. Prindle was declared the Season Five Tournament winner and went on to lose to Cole Konrad at Bellator 70.
