Bellator MMA is in Phoenix, Arizona for a big night in the light heavyweight division.
In the main event of Bellator 268, reigning champion Vadim Nemkov defends his title against short notice foe Julius Anglickas. Originally we were supposed to see Nemkov against Anthony Johnson, but ‘Rumble’ withdrew due to illness.
The co-main event pits former Bellator champ Ryan Bader against fellow UFC veteran Corey Anderson. Both the main and co-main are part of Bellator’s light heavyweight tournament semifinals, so the winner of Nemkov-Anglickas will take on the winner of Bader-Anderson. All tournament bouts are scheduled for five rounds.
