Fedor Emelianenko on Frank Mir Matchup at Bellator 198: Size Doesn’t Matter
Former Pride Fighting Championships heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko will face former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion Frank Mir in the main event of Bellator 198 this Saturday at Allstate Arena in Chicago. The winner will progress to the semi-finals of the 2018 Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix tournament to face another former Octagon talent in Chael Sonnen. Sonnen defeated Quinton Jackson in January to secure his spot in the next round.
Emelianenko made a recent appearance on “The MMA Hour” and was asked if he was concerned about the potential mind games that would certainly happen if he were to face Sonnen in the semi-finals.
