Bellator Fighting Championships kicks off their fourth season on March 5 with all four quarterfinal bouts in their welterweight tournament.
The organization officially announced on Tuesday that all four pairings will take place on the first card of season four, coming from the Tachi Palace Casino & Resort in Lemoore, California.
"This Welterweight tournament is stacked. Every fight should be hyper-competitive," said Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney. "Any one of these eight fighters could win it, make $100,000 and earn the right to fight [Ben] Askren for our world title."
The previously announced pairings will see "Judo" Jim Wallhead meet Rick Hawn, Steve Carl vs. Jay Hieron, Dan Hornbuckle vs. Brett Weedman and Lyman Good vs. Chris Lozano.
