With less than three weeks until the upstart Bellator Fighting Championship's debut event, details for the full fight card are beginning to surface.

Sources close to the event confirmed to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that the most recent additions to the card include a pair of WEC veteran featherweights, Jonathan Brookins (8-3) and Stephen Ledbetter (6-2) meeting in a non-tournament bout.

Bellator's first event is scheduled for April 3 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. The card will air on ESPN Deportes on a 24-hour tape delay.

Brookins, a former roommate of the colorful and controversial Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett, last saw acion in a third-round TKO loss to the WEC's fast-rising star Jose Aldo at "WEC 36: Faber vs. Brown" in November 2008.

Brookins made his professional debut in 2006 with a 19-second knockout win over future "TUF 5" competitor Allen Berubie.
