Bellator Fighting Championships has confirmed the second participant for their season four featherweight tournament, as Zac George has been officially announced for the field.
George, a 20-3 fighter out of Team Quest in Oregon, is a former IFL competitor, and rides a six fight win streak into the tournament. He will be returning after a lengthy layoff, as his last fight took place in October of 2009.
"I've wanted to fight for Bellator for a while now," said George. "It's an exciting weight class and Bellator has a bunch of really talented fighters with records similar to mine. They're hungry guys looking for their shot and they all want to go out there to beat some people up and make some money. I'm really excited about it."
"It's going to mean the world to me 'when' I win this tournament," George said. "There is no 'if' in my mind. I wouldn't enter this thing if I didn't know that I was going to go out there and stomp on some guys. I'm going to go out there and put on some exciting fights, beat these guys up, and make a living while I'm at it."
"Zac George finishes fights and often finishes them early. Anyone he faces in our Featherweight tournament this March will need to be at the very top of their game to hope to get out with a victory," said Bellator chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney of George's inclusion in the tournament.
Bellator's fourth season airs on MTV2 beginning this March.
