Cheick Kongo vs. Alexander Volkov heavyweight collision set for Bellator 139

Alexander "Drago" Volkov is looking for some redemption after his last decision loss to Tony "Hulk" Johnson. He'll get his chance on June 26th against veteran heavyweight fighter Cheick Kongo, also on a search for redemption.

Going into Bellator 136 on April 10th, former heavyweight champion Alexander "Drago" Volkov was the presumed favorite against Tony Johnson. The "Hulk," however, had other ideas and the judges ultimately decided to score the fight in his favor.

Volkov is eager for another fight to redeem himself in front of the Bellator fans, and the promotion is happy to oblige, but they certainly aren't making things easier for him.
