BELLATOR 61, ZST 31, NCAA D-I Wrestling Championships: Huge Combat Sports Weekend!


St. Patrick's Day Weekend is a weekend that will be full of beatdowns.

BELLATOR 61, at Bossier City's Horseshoe Riverdome (tickets still on sale), will feature the rematch for the heavyweight tournament final between Eric Prindle and Thiago Santos. Remember Bellator 59? Santos' low blow on Prindle? Will Prindle show some payback here?

Also on the card are four middlweight tournament qualifiers-featuring Brian Rogers/Vitor Vianna and newly-signed Vyacheslav Vasilevsky.
