Jose Vega - Bellator 26

With the start of Bellator Fighting Championships' third season now just three weeks away, company officials have announced Jose Vega (8-3 MMA, 1-0 BFC) as the fifth fighter in the upcoming eight-man bantamweight tournament.

Vega earned his way into the tournament with his stunning 39-second finish of Jarrod Card in a non-tournament bout in June.

"Jose showed everyone in MMA what he's capable with his highlight-reel knockout at Bellator 22," Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney stated in today's release.

Vega is actually just 2-3 in his past five contests, but Rebney believes the fighter's inclusion in the tournament is a perfect indicator of Bellator's overall goal.

"Part of the beauty of Bellator is that a fighter like Jose can come out of virtual obscurity to make a name for himself and will keep fighting for us as long as he keeps winning," Rebney stated. "Jose definitely has the tools to go far in our bantamweight tournament, and I look forward to watching him compete come August."
