"The Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre is a dynamic venue in the heart of Boston," said Bellator founder and CEO Bjorn Rebney. "We are thrilled to be aligning with Madison Square Garden and the Wang Theatre to bring our world class, nationally televised mixed martial arts to MMA fans in New England."

We've also signed two of the best middleweights in all of New England and convinced them to fight each other in our Local Main Event. I can promise that the Kittridge-Torrey fight is something fans won't want to miss."

The Wang Theatre event is one of two venues exclusively booked through Madison Square Garden that will host Bellator events over the next four weeks along with the historic Chicago Theatre. Both of those events - along with 10 other Bellator events during April, May and June -will be broadcast on Fox Sports Net, NBC and Telemundo.

what makes that fight super?

Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

No Just a "Super" Fight

I am happy to watch Alvarez anytime

thats why I hate it ANS...I like eddie too but if Neer somehow beats him the tourney and belt are meaningless cause you'll have someone walkin around who has beaten the champ

it’ll happen in time but the real super fight in bellator will be Huerta/Eddie

True. I just cant see Neer

doing anything other then losing a decision. But your right it does make the title alot less meaningful. However we should see Huerta vs Alvarez which could be pure fireworks

Roger still training with Jackson or has he moved on?

I Havent Seen Him In a While

He was never officially part of the gym just one of those guys who comes to train for a while. From everything Ive known he has been in Thailand or something. But its been a damn long time since Ive seen him.
