Bellator signs CFFC interim champ Ricky Bandejas to multi-fight deal

Bellator has added another young talent to one of its weight classes in need.

Bantamweight prospect Ricky Bandejas has inked an exclusive, multi-fight deal with Bellator, an official today told MMAjunkie. Financial terms of the contract were not released.

Through his 11 career fights, Bandejas (10-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) has competed exclusively under the Cage Fury Fighting Championship organization, which is based out of his native New Jersey and has helped develop UFC notables such as Jim Miller, Aljamain Sterling, Anthony Smith, and more.

Bandejas, 26, most recently competed at CFFC 69 in December, where he scored a fourth-round knockout of Nick Mamalis to claim the organization’s interim bantamweight championship.

The signing of Bandejas is a welcomed addition for Bellator’s 135-pound division, which, according to the company website, currently has just 11 fighters signed.

A date and location for Bandejas’ Bellator debut have not been scheduled at this time.
