Former K-1 World Grand Prix Champion Mirko Filipovic is set to take on Roy Nelson at Bellator 216 at heavyweight on Saturday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
The pair previously met when they were both contracted under the Ultimate Fighting Championship at UFC 137 in October 2011 with Nelson winning via third-round TKO. The two were scheduled to meet at Bellator 200 last May, but "Cro Cop" was forced to withdraw with an injury.
Ahead of this weekend's fight, a photo emerged of Filipovic looking in rare physical form, leading some fans to suggest that the 44-year-old has been taking some sort of steroid to assist him with the healing process as a result from his injuries.
