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. Недавно, Mitrione has defeatedРой Нельсон иФедор Емельяненко, 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, Андрей Арловский, Педро Риццо, Murilo “Ninja” Rua and Alistair Overeem.

One of the most unorthodox strikers to ever compete for Bellator, «MVP» неуклонно продвигался вверх в полусреднем весе с момента подписания контракта с организацией в 2013. Known for his antics both inside the cage and out, Каждый бой Майкла Пейджа - это развлечение, которое нельзя не посетить. С непобежденным рекордом 13-0, и 11 из тех побед, которые приходят путем остановки, the 31-year-old out of London Shootfighters finally meets up with fellow Brit and longtime rival, Пол Дейли. A veteran of Strikeforce, UFC and BAMMA, Nottingham’s Daley has competed professionally since 2003. Throughout his career, «Семтекс» стал одним из самых запоминающихся боев в истории ММА., в том численокаутом года над Бреннаном Уордом в 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 overТимоти ДжонсониJavy Айяла, 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 andРайан Бадер.
