After about a month long hiatus, Viacom’s version of MMA is back in action with Bellator 196 from Budapest, Hungary. The marquee matchup is expected to involve MMA mainstay Ben Henderson locking horns with one-time Sports Illustrated cover model Roger Huerta. Huerta makes his return to the promotion following a near eight year run in other fighting leagues. The co-main event will pit Budapest’s own undefeated Adam Borics against the 11-1 Bulgarian Teodor Nikolov.
Also on the card, five-time world kickboxing campion Denise Kielholtz looks to make her second Bellator MMA appearance as she takes on promotional newcomer Petra Castkova.
