Bellator's season four light heavyweight tournament field is nearly complete, as the organization on Friday confirmed Christian "Tonton" M'Pumbu as the sixth participant in the upcoming tournament.

The African born French fighter makes his Bellator debut bringing a 15-3-1 record, having finished 12 of his 15 victories by submission or TKO.

"Christian's dangerous in every facet of the game and he could use this platform on MTV2 to establish himself as a force in the 205 division," said Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney.

"I have wanted to take a step up in competition for some time now. I'm ready for this," said M?Pumbu. "I truly believe that I will be the Bellator World Light Heavyweight Champion. I'm excited about the future. Hard work always pays off."

Bellator's fourth season kicks off on March 5, and airs every Saturday night for 12 weeks on MTV2, and M'Pumbu now joins Richard Hale, Nik Fekete, Chris Davis, D.J. Linderman, and Tim Carpenter as the confirmed participants in this field.
