After two hugely-successful shows in 2011, Bellator Fighting Championships
announced today that the world’s leading tournament-based promotion will be

Canadian faithful proud. Tickets for this event are on sale now and are

“We’re thrilled to be able to partner once again with this world leader to
bring Ontario MMA fans another edge-of-your-seat action packed fight night,”
said Jeff Craik, Vice President of Marketing, Casino Rama. “This is exactly the
type of Big Time Excitement customers have come to expect from us.”

“Casino Rama has been a spectacular home for Bellator throughout 2011, so
returning to this majestic jewel of a resort/casino was a very easy decision to
make,” Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney said. “As always our fight card
will be stacked from top to bottom with many of the world’s best fighters, so I
expect nothing less than a packed house once again on May 4.”
