PRINDLE VS. SANTOS REMATCH SET FOR BELLATOR 61

After a non-finish in their first attempt, the Bellator season five heavyweight tournament will finally see it's conclusion.

Bellator officials today announced a rematch between finalists Eric Prindle (7-1) and Thiago Santos (10-1), for Bellator 61 in March.

The first bout between these two ended in a no contest when Santos delivered a low blow to a downed Prindle, and Prindle was unable to continue. While many believed the fight should have been a disqualification, the bout was instead ruled a no contest, and the promotion announced a rematch would happen at a future date.

The winner of this fight receives $100,000 and a title fight against Bellator heavyweight champion, Cole Konrad.

Bellator 61 takes place on March 16 at the Horseshoe Riverdome in Bossier City, La.
