Bellator’s tourney payouts tighten; new weight classes likely for season-three tourneys

Officials from Bellator Fighting Championships today announced the opening round matchups for its season-two eight-man featherweight tournament.

And though season-one winners earned $175,000 when victorious in all three rounds of the tournaments, sources close to the competitors told MMAjunkie.com that the payout amounts have dipped for season two.

However, that’s in no way made the tournaments any less popular, and fighters are already securing spots for season three, which will feature new weight classes.
