Bellator has added some popular Chicago-area fighters for it’s season 2 debut. Jeff Curran will take on Joe Doherty, and Felice Herrig’s match with Catia Vitoria has been added to the card. That fight was initially to take place in the Reality Combat Challenge, but now Herrig will have her home crowd behind her.
Bellator’s four first-round fights will take place as part of Bellator XIV on April 15th and Bellator XV on April 22nd. Bellator XIV will be broadcast live from the Chicago Theatre.
Here are the welterweight (170 lbs.) matchups:

- Steve Carl (12-1) vs. Brett Cooper (12-5)
Bellator will also conduct tournaments at 145, 155 and 185 lbs. during Season 2 with the winners in each division being declared No. 1 contenders to the current roster of Bellator champions. Fighter pairings for the 145 lbs. tournament were announced last week. Matchups for the remaining two tournaments will be announced in March.
Each of the fights will be broadcast live in prime time on FOX Sports Net. Highlights will be shown the following Saturday night in special action-packed shows on NBC and Telemundo.
“I can’t wait for our welterweight tournament to start,” said Bellator founder and CEO Bjorn Rebney. “It’s turned out exactly as I had hoped it would: world-class talent and well-known names coupled with some tremendous prospects in a tournament that anyone could win. This is what a tournament should be about.”

Felice “L’il Bulldog” Herrig will fight next at “Reality Combat Championship III”, on April 17th. Herrig scored her first pro MMA win by defeating Michelle Gutierrez at “Unconquered 1: November Reign” by armbar.
Her next opponent is Catia Vitoria. Vitoria holds a 2-0 pro MMA record and has beaten one of the bigger names in women’s MMA, Micghelle Waterson. Waterson might be better known by her nickname, “The Karate Hottie”. Along with Felice, Waterson was named as one of the hottest MMA fighters by Channa Loves MMA.
Here is Vitoria talking about her training regimen after her defeat of Waterson.
Looks as if the L’il Bulldog will have a bit more experienced, and possibly tougher opponent when she faces Vitoria in April.
