Bellator 290 Scouting Report: Johnny Eblen

At Bellator 290 on Saturday the promotion makes its debut on CBS with a short but stacked card. Headlining it will be Ryan Bader defending his heavyweight crown against The Last Emporer Fedor Emelianenko in what will be the final bout in his illustrious career.

Before that bout takes place though, Johnny Eblen will try to defend his newly won middleweight title against Anatoly Tokov. In the case of Eblen, this will serve as his first title defense after winning the belt off of another legend in Gegard Mousasi.
