Fresh off an impressive semi-final run in Bellator’s Heavyweight World Grand Prix, Matt Mitrione returns to action on February 15 against a true veteran in Sergei Kharitonov. The former Purdue football defensive lineman splits his training between Indianapolis and Combat Club in South Florida, and is in the best shape of his fighting career. Kürzlich, Mitrione has defeatedRoy Nelson undFedor Emelianenko, adding to an already-impressive list of career victories.The man dubbed “The Paratrooper,” Kharitonov is the owner of an equally notable MMA resume, with the 38-year-old scoring wins against some of the sport’s most marquee names, including an incredible performance against Roy Nelson, as well as Fabricio Werdum, Andrei Arlovski, Pedro Rizzo, Murilo “Ninja” Rua and Alistair Overeem.

One of the most unorthodox strikers to ever compete for Bellator, "MVP" hat sich seit seiner Unterzeichnung bei der Organisation im Weltergewicht stetig nach oben gearbeitet 2013. Known for his antics both inside the cage and out, Jeder Michael Page Kampf ist ein Muss Unterhaltung. Mit einer ungeschlagenen Bilanz von 13-0, und 11 von diesen Siegen durch Stillstand kommen, the 31-year-old out of London Shootfighters finally meets up with fellow Brit and longtime rival, Paul Daley. Ein Veteran von Strikeforce, UFC and BAMMA, Nottingham’s Daley has competed professionally since 2003. Während seiner Karriere, "Semtex" war die Hälfte einiger der denkwürdigsten Kämpfe in der MMA-Geschichte, einschließlich einKnockout des Jahres über Brennan Ward in 2017.

A rematch ofBellator 115, Cheick Kongo will look for redemption against Bellator’s longest reigning heavyweight champion, when Vitaly Minakov returns for his first fight with the promotion since 2014. A winner of seven straight, including two consecutive first-round knockouts overTimothy JohnsonundJavy Ayala, Kongo has earned the opportunity to compete in a No. 1 contender’s bout. Undefeated as a professional, Minakov earned a victory against Alexander Volkov, as well as a previous win against Kongo, in his previous Bellator stint, and later continued his winning ways in Russia against “Bigfoot” Silva and Tony Johnson. The two now meet to determine who will go on to face the winner of Fedor Emelianenko andRyan Bader.
