After making plenty of noise and turning more than a few heads in Bellator’s lightweight division, Pat Curran will now set his sights on the featherweight class.
Bellator officials Friday announced Curran, its Season 2 lightweight tournament champion, will cut to 145 pounds with a placement in the promotion’s upcoming featherweight tournament, part of its “Summer Series” slate of events.
Curran’s featherweight debut with the promotion will come at Bellator 46 on June 25 in Hollywood, Fla., which will serve as the opening round of the featherweight tourney. The semifinals are slated for Bellator 47 and the tournament finals for Bellator 48 – setting up the next challenger for Bellator featherweight champion Joe Warren.
