Former UFC fighter coming this season...

Bellator Fighting Championships have announced the signing of former UFC fighter and "The Ultimate Fighter 6" cast member Ben Saunders (9-3-2 MMA, 4-3 UFC).

Saunders won't competed in Bellator's eight-man season-four welterweight tournament but will fight during the upcoming season, which kicks off next month.

"Ben Saunders is an exciting, powerful welterweight with explosive knockout power," Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney stated. "Ben's dangerous and always shows up to fight. I'm excited to see his first fight under the Bellator banner on MTV2 in April."
