Bellator 162 comes to Fed Ex Forum in Memphis, Tenn. on Oct. 21, 2016. A main event hasn't been officially announced for the card, but a fight that has just been locked in seems like a good candidate to headline the show.
Former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko (53-9, 1 NC) has not been seen since knocking out Melvin Manhoef at Bellator 133, an impressive performance that would not ultimately stand due to a 50-to-1 T/E ratio that earned him a three-year suspension.
After the result was changed to a "no contest" and a $10,000 fine was levied, Shlemenko vowed to fight the suspension in court.
