Борба против Леидена, Јужна Холандија, Холандија, Gegard Mousasi will be looking to follow-up his decisive TKO victory over Рори МацДоналд у Беллатор 206 in what will be his second title defense since becoming champion earlier this year. “The Dreamcatcher” is currently in the midst of an impressive eight-fight win streak that dates back to 2016. The 33-year-old judo black belt has dominated the stacked middleweight class since signing with Bellator in 2017, collecting three victories in as many bouts, including a pair of knockouts against Рафаел Царвалхо and MacDonald in both of his world title fights.
