With mixed martial arts becoming legalized in France in 2020, BELLATOR became the first promotion to hold a major MMA event with ಫೈಟಿಂಗ್ 248 in October of that year. The success of that historic card propelled BELLATOR to make a return to “The City of Lights” in 2022 in a big way with a main event featuring undisputed BELLATOR MMA Heavyweight Champion, ರಯಾನ್ ಬೇಡರ್ (29-7, 1 ಎನ್ಸಿ) defending his crown in enemy territory against hometown favorite and No. 2-ranked heavyweight Cheick ಕಾಂಗೋ (31-11-2, 1 ಎನ್ಸಿ).
In addition to the main and co-main event, a lightweight tilt pitting the last man to defeat media darling Paddy Pimblett, Søren Bak (15-1) against England’s Saul Rogers (15-4) is also official. Bak has only tasted defeat once in his 16 professional fights and held both the featherweight and lightweight titles in Cage Warriors before joining the BELLATOR roster. Fighting out of Denmark, “The True Viking” is riding a seven-fight win streak into battle against the SBG Manchester product, ರೋಜರ್ಸ್. Known as “The Hangman,” Rogers also has amassed 15 victories on his resume including wins over Artem Lobov, Ryan Hall and Georgi Karakhanyan.
The preliminary card is guaranteed to feature a showcase of French talent and has begun to take shape with the return of Yves Landu (16-9), who takes on Liverpool’s ಗೇವಿನ್ ಹ್ಯೂಸ್ (10-2) in a lightweight affair. Preliminary card action will stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and Pluto TV beginning at 6:30 p.m. CEST/12:30 p.m. ಮತ್ತು.
Tickets for the fight are on sale now at accorarena.com ಮತ್ತು bellator.fr. Follow Bellator France on Instagram @BellatorFrance and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/BellatorFrance/
