CHICAGO, Ill. (February 23, 2010) – With its first Season 2 event now less than eight weeks away, Bellator Fighting Championships today revealed the Round 1 matchups for its much-anticipated, nationally-televised featherweight tournament.
The four fights will take place during Bellator’s first two Season 2 events on April 8th at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., and on April 15th at the historic Chicago Theatre.
Bellator will also conduct tournaments at 155, 170 and 185 lbs. during Season 2 with the winners in each division being declared No. 1 contenders to the current roster of Bellator champions. Fighter pairings for those tournaments will be announced within the coming weeks.
The featherweight (145 lbs.) matchups are as follows:
April 8th
Joe Warren (2-1) vs. Eric Marriott (17-2)
Georgi Karakhanyan (12-1-1) vs. Bao Quach (17-9-1)
April 15th
Wilson Reis (9-1) vs. Shad Lierley (5-2)
Patricio Pitbull (12-0) vs. William Romero (5-0)
Each of the fights will be broadcast live in prime time on FOX Sports Net. Highlights will be shown the following Saturday night in special action-packed shows on NBC and Telemundo.
"As an MMA fan, I can’t wait to see these fights," said Bellator founder and CEO Bjorn Rebney. "Having watched all of these guys in the cage, I can’t tell you who the favorite will be. There’s been great buzz about our 145 division and it’s definitely warranted. This tournament is a mine field for each of these fighters."

man i was hoping they wouldn't put Joe Warren against Eric.
Mariott has a very aggressive bottom game and he can work an assortment of submissions, very dynamic ground arsenal. Hopefully Joe will have learned not to cross arm for base in guard.
