Bellator Fighting Championships travels to Rhode Island for the first time, as the promotion touches down in the "Ocean State" on Nov. 16.

That date sees the promotion host Bellator 81 at The University of Rhode Island's Ryan Center in Kingston, R.I.

"The Ryan Center is an incredible arena that should play host to a great night of fights," Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney stated. "The Northeast has always treated Bellator well, and I'm excited for the opportunity to bring Bellator to Rhode Island on Nov. 16."

Tickets for Bellator 81, which start at just $30 for the general public and $20 for University of Rhode Island students, go on sale Sept. 7.

The promotion has yet to announce any contests for the card.

Bellator's upcoming seventh season features tournaments in the featherweight, lightweight, welterweight and heavyweight divisions. As with all Season 7 events, Bellator 81's main card airs on MTV2 (and in high-definition on EPIX) following prelims on Spike.com.
