At Bellator 162 back on Oct. 21, 2016, former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko took on former UFC fighter Kendall Grove in the main event of the card. That night in Memphis, the Russian fighter scored his 54th professional win, stopping Grove via second-round technical knockout.
Now, two victories and a year later, Shlemenko is scheduled to take on recent UFC middleweight contender Gegard Mousasi in the main event of Bellator 185. This card set to go down on Oct. 20 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
