This weekend is a big weekend in combat sport as BELLATOR's season six comes to an end, as well as the return of K-1 kickboxing in a tournament event!
At BELLATOR 70, in which BELLATOR will make its New Orleans debut, there will be a bantamweight semifinal between Luis Nogueira and Hiroshi Nakamura. Also the lightweight tournament final as Brent Weedman takes on Rick Hawn for a shot at Michael Chandler's title belt!
But that's not all, the world heavyweight championship is on the line as Cole Konrad defends the belt against the most recent tournament winner Eric Prindle, who won the most recent heavyweight tournament after his rematch with Thiago Santos never happen. The reason: Santos had to forefeit due to weight issues, therefore Prindle gets a title shot.
