Jim Wallhead Signs Multi-Fight Deal With Bellator Fighting Championships

Bellator Fighting Championships announced on Monday it has signed British welterweight Jim Wallhead to a multi-fight deal.

Wallhead, a judo black belt, has won nine of his last eleven fights.

“I’ve been looking for a home in a big promotion for quite a while, so I’m just over the moon about signing with Bellator,” said Wallhead. “I watched the Bellator shows last year, and it’s really just a great, high-standards promotion. I’m relishing the challenge to let it all hang out, to take some risks and, hopefully, to have some success against the top competition in the world.”

As part of the deal, Wallhead will be invited to compete in the eight-man tournament during the debut of Bellator season 2 on April 8, 2010.
