After earlier this week announcing standout Georgi Karakhanyan for its season-two featherweight tournament, Bellator Fighting champships today confirmed another quality addition to the eight-man field: undefeated Canadian William Romero.
The 27-year-old boasts a perfect 5-0 record since turning pro in June 2008.
Bellator's season-two tournaments kicks off in April and airs live on FOX Sports Net affiliates.
Highlights packages also air on NBC and Telemundo. The season-two tourney winners fight for the right to fight the season-one winners, who were also crowned promotional champs. Undefeated Joe Soto earned the featherweight belt in 2009 and now awaits a challenger.
Romero, a native Canadian who spent a large chunk of his childhood living in Ecuador, served a paratrooper in the Canadian Armed Forces. However, after his military service, he hooked up with Randy Grant, the brother of UFC fighter T.J. Grant and a prominent MMA trainer.
