Bellator Kickboxing announces weight classes, contest regulations
Esther LinThe Pala Alpitour in Torino, Italy, is getting ready for "Bellator Kickboxing: Torino" on April 16, 2016. The matches taped that night will air almost a week later immediately following Bellator 153: "Koreshkov vs. Henderson" on Spike TV.
Until now, we knew the date and the place -- but not the ruleset kickboxers in this new league would face. Bellator Kickboxing recently announced its regulations and weight classes, and the latter should look very familiar.
Heavyweight: 265 pounds
Light Heavyweight: 205 pounds
Middleweight: 185 pounds
Welterweight: 170 pounds
Lightweight: 155 pounds
Featherweight: 145 pounds
Bantamweight: 135 pounds
