Bellator MMA set to bring stacked card to Albuquerque's Santa Ana Star Center

According to a Feb. 19 report from MMA Fighting, Bellator MMA is set to bring a stacked card to the Santa Ana Star Center on Feb. 28.

Bellator 91 will undoubtedly be an exciting night of fights in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Reigning Bellator MMA Light Heavyweight Champion Christian M’Pumbu prepares to defend his title against dominating Slovakian finisher Attila Vegh, and nine additional fights have been added to the card.

Tickets for the event are on sale now and range from $25-$90. Tickets can be purchased at ComcastTix.com, Bellator.com or by visiting The Santa Ana Star Center box office.

The event will broadcast live starting at 8 p.m. MST on Spike, as well as in Spanish language on mun2. The preliminary card will be streamed live and free on Spike.com starting at 6 p.m. MST.

David Rickels looks to keep the momentum going with a win over tournament newcomer Jason Fischer, who replaces an injured Tiger Sarnavskiy. Also on the card, Will Brooks fights Saad Awad.

“This is what I’ve been working so hard for my entire career, and I just have to continue on this path and make my mark on the division and Bellator,” Will Brooks said. “Saad is a tough guy, but with my wrestling base and skills, I know what I have to do to get the win and just continue onto the Finals.”

Longtime Bellator veteran and Arizona native Ed “Wild” West is back and gunning for victory as he takes on Santa Fe’s own Josh Montoya in a bantamweight affair. A fan favorite wherever he fights, West is counting down the days until his Bellator return on Feb. 28.

“I just want to get back in that cage and remind everyone again what 'Wild' West is all about,” West said. “I always like to put on a show, and nothing is going to change on Feb. 28.
