Cheick Kongo re-signs with Bellator on multi-year deal
Cheick Kongo Bellator MMA MMA Fighting confirmed with officials that the veteran heavyweight has signed a new, multi-year contract to stay with the promotion that he has called home since 2013. The news was first reported by MMA Junkie.
In 15 appearances for Bellator, Kongo has compiled a 12-2 record with one no-contest. That no-contest occurred in his most recent bout against heavyweight champion Ryan Bader this past September. Kongo was ruled unable to continue after complaining about an accidental eye poke in the first round.
