Bellator Fighting Championships will return to the state of Louisiana two more times in 2011, as the organization announced that they have struck a two event deal with the L'Auberge du Lac Casino Resort in Lake Charles.
Bellator has run the venue once before, for last September's Bellator 31 event during season three. The casino will now play host to the season four finale event, Bellator 45, on May 21, and will also host a season five event, Bellator 52, on October 1. Both events will air live on MTV2.
"L'Auberge du Lac is a spectacular casino resort with a world-class, exciting venue that was sold out, standing room only in Season 3. I'm thrilled we will be going back twice before the end of 2011 to entertain our loyal fans along the Gulf Coast," said Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney.
Tickets for Bellator 45 go on sale on April 8 at Ticketmaster.com, and with the event being held in the casino attendees must be at least 21-years-old.
