Bellator Fighting Championships officials have officially announced the previously reported pairings for the season four featherweight tournament semifinals at Bellator 41, and in addition to those two fights, they have announced a pair of non-title fights for the event from two of their champions.
Bellator Featherweight Champion Joe Warren will meet WEC veteran Marcos "Louro" Galvao, while Bellator Bantamweight Champion Zack Makovsky meets 11-0 Strikeforce vet Chad "Robo" Robichaux in non-title action on the card.
Then, the semifinals for the featherweight tournament take place as Patricio "Pitbull" Freire meets Wilson Reis and Kenny Foster meets Donald Strauss. The event takes place at the Cocopah Resort and Casino in Yuma, Ariz. on April 16, airing live on MTV2.
"As an MMA fan, I can't wait for this event," said Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney. "Both Super Fights and Semi-finals should be spectacular fights. And, Cocopah Casino's outdoor venue is an amazing venue for MMA. We've wanted to bring an event to Arizona for some time. Overall, this should be a great live event on MTV2."
