SANTA MONICA, Calif. (April 21, 2015) – French striking specialist Cheick Kongo (22-10-2) och tidigare Bellator MMA Heavyweight världsmästare Alexander “Drago” Volkov (24-5) will stand toe-to-toe in the Bellator MMA cage on Juni 26.

 

The two sluggers clash in the five-round main event of “Bellator MMA: Kongo vs. Volkov,” which takes place at Kansas Star Event Center Arena in Mulvane, Kan.

 

The heavyweight slugfest joins previously announced matchups of lightweights Dave “Den Caveman” Rickels (16-3) vs. John “The Natural” Alessio (35-17) and former Bellator MMA featherweight champion Pat “Paddy Mike” Curran (20-7) vs. Yamauchi upp (18-2) on the event’s featured portion.

 

Nattens huvudkortet sänds live gratis Spike på 9 p.m. OCH/ 8 p.m. CT, medan preliminära skjutningarna strömma på Spike.com.

 

Ytterligare skjutningarna kommer att meddelas inom kort.

 

Biljetter till “Bellator MMA: Kongo vs. Volkov,” som börjar på just $17 and include cageside seats for just $97, är för närvarande tillgängliga på Ticketmaster.com.

 

Kongo, en 6-fot-4 frans, is a striking ace who boasts black belts in both Karate and Kendo. A multiple-time world champion in kickboxing, Kongo fokuserar nu enbart på MMA och har byggt en 4-2 rekord under Bellator MMA banner. One of the most imposing figures in all of MMA, Kongo boasts 12 career knockout victories, including the sport’s 2011 “Knockout of the Year.”

 

The 26-year-old Volkov is an eight-time Bellator MMA veteran who rose to the promotion’s highest rank in 2012 as the Bellator MMA Heavyweight World Champion. Though he would eventually cede the belt to current title holder Vitaly Minakov, Volkov bounced right back with three-consecutive stoppage wins. I hans 24 karriärsegrar, Volkov has scored 17 genom knockout.
