Bellator
Fighting Championships on Tuesday announced plans to return to
the L’Auberge du Lac Casino Resort twice in 2011, as both the
Season 4 finale and an upcoming Season 5 event will emanate from
the L’Auberge Event Center in Lake Charles, La.
The venue will host Bellator 45 on May 21 and Bellator 52 on Oct. 1, with both events airing live on MTV2. No matchups were announced for either show.
“L’Auberge du Lac is a spectacular casino resort with a world class, exciting venue that was sold out in Season 3,” Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney stated in a release. “I’m thrilled we will be going back twice before the end of 2011 to entertain our loyal fans along the Gulf Coast.”
L’Auberge du Lac is no stranger to hosting Bellator events: the venue was the site of Bellator 31 in Season 3, which featured two women’s 115-pound tournament semifinal bouts and a welterweight tourney qualifier between UFC veteran Yoshiyuki Yoshida and Chris Lozano.
