Bellator signs WEC veteran

WEC veteran Eric Schambari has signed a deal with Bellator to compete in their eight-man middleweight tournament that will start in April.

Schambari has previously been successful at WEC, but left the organization due to an injury.

“Eric is a very talented middleweight with what’s commonly referred to as freak-strength,” said Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney.

“Given who our middleweight champion is, that’s a vital attribute to possess. On top of that, the determination Eric’s shown during his comeback from a serious injury is inspirational and shows the kind of heart he has.”
