|  Bellator signs Kurt Pellagrino and Phillipe Nover, both appearing at Bellator 59
Bellator 59 set for Nov. 26, features Freire vs. Pellegrino, Held vs. Nover | MMAjunkie.com Quote:
On the eve of Saturday night's season-five debut in New Jersey, MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com) has learned that the promotion is planning on a return to the Garden State on Nov. 26.
The event, Bellator 59, will also feature a pair of UFC veterans as Patricky "Pitbull" Freire (9-2 MMA, 2-1 BFC) meets Kurt Pellegrino (16-6 MMA, 0-0 BFC) and Marcin Held (11-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) fights Phillipe Nover (5-3-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC).
Like Saturday night's Bellator 49 event, Bellator 59 takes place at Ceasars Atlantic City.
An announcement from the promotion is expected shortly.
Freire returns to action for this first time since dropping a unanimous decision to Michael Chandler in Bellator's season-four lightweight tournament. He'll take on New Jersey native and 12-time UFC veteran Pellegrino, who was recently released from the UFC following back-to-back losses to Gleison Tibau and George Sotiropoulos. Pellegrino, who said he petitioned for his UFC release, openly considered retirement from the sport but has apparently found the will to return to the cage.
Meanwhile, Held returns to the promotion after being bounced from the season-four tournament quarterfinals by Chandler in shocking submission fashion. Held did fight earlier this month, earning a submission win over Kaleo Kwan under the Australian Fighting Championship banner.
Nover looks to earn his second win since being released from the UFC. "The Ultimate Fighter 8" finalist was bounced after losses to Robert Emerson, Kyle Bradley and Efrain Escudero but notched an August win over Jake Murphy at Hoosier Fight Club 8.

I assume if they both win their fights they'll be in the Bellator LW tournament next year.
