Matt Mitrione will make his Bellator MMA debut at Scottrade Center in St. Louis on June 24, the same night Quinton Jackson returns to the California-based promotion.
Jackson will headline Bellator 157 “Dynamite 2” against Satoshi Ishii in a 215-pound catch-weight bout, while Mitrione will square off against Carl Seumanutafa in a featured heavyweight contest. If all goes as planned, Mitrione believes a future showdown against “Rampage” could be big business -- provided the former UFC light heavyweight champ doesn’t return to 205 pounds.
“If Rampage really thinks that he wants to fight me and have the last fight of his career, I would happily try to punch a hole in his face,” Mitrione told Sherdog.
