Bellator 264 will be a homecoming of sorts for Gegard Mousasi.
Back in his days as Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, Mousasi fought multiple times on events aired by Bellator’s new broadcast partner, Showtime. Mousasi even won his light heavyweight title on the subscription network in 2009. Now, more than a decade later, Mousasi is set to defend a different belt for a Scott Coker-led promotion on Showtime when he puts his Bellator middleweight strap on the line against John Salter on Friday.
Mousasi considers the move to Showtime to be a positive one.
