Bellator is looking to Alessio Sakara to headline another show in Italy.
The 37-year-old Rome native will once again be front and center when the promotion visits RDS Stadium in the city of Genoa for the first time on Dec. 1. “Legionarius” takes on England’s Kent Kauppinen in the light heavyweight main event.
Officials announced details for the event on Tuesday.
This will be Sakara’s fifth straight show competing in his home country of Italy, with all of those appearances taking place in the main or co-main event. Sakara (20-12, 2 NC) has won four of his last five bouts, with the lone loss during that stretch coming in a middleweight championship bout against Rafael Carvalho.
