Bellator headed to the desert last night (April 16, 2011) to host its forty-first event. The promotion made its first ever stop at the Cocopah Resort and Casino in Yuma, Arizona.
Headlining the event, which aired live on MTV2, was a 137-pound catchweight bout between current Featherweight Champion Joe Warren and WEC veteran Marcos Galvao.
Another Bellator champion competed in non-title action as bantamweight belt-holder Zach "Fun Size" Makovsky battled undefeated veteran Chad Robichaux.
