Bellator 161: "Kongo vs. Johnson" came to H-E-B Center in Cedar Park, Texas, last night (Fri., Sept. 16, 2016) live on Spike TV. The card was headlined by two key fights at heavyweight and bantamweight, as well as a plethora of story lines surrounding the newly acquired Chael Sonnen.
Sonnen recorded a video which opened the night's live broadcast.
"What's happening guys? Chael P. Sonnen here and the P stands for ICON. Guys it's been a long journey for me and an even longer last couple of months. I've got all your cards to the gym, I've got all your letters to my house, I see all of your comments on social media -- I promise you I read that stuff myself.
