Bellator MMA is in France for the first time in its history, and one of their own will be fighting in the main event.
At 45 years old, France’s Cheick Kongo is still very much a relevant heavyweight. Back in 2019, Kongo challenged Ryan Bader for the Bellator title but the fight ended in the opening round due to an eye poke from Bader. With Bader still the heavyweight champ, Kongo gets another crack at the belt after a comeback win over Sergei Kharitonov last year.
Co-main event action sees former UFC contender Yoel Romero take on short notice replacement Alex Polizzi.
