Perhaps unsurprisingly, Vadim Nemkov and Corey Anderson will be competing for both the Bellator light heavyweight title and the $1 million tournament prize. Nemkov, who is the reigning champion, overcame a brief scare in the form of an opening round flash knockdown and eventually submitted Julius Anglickas in the Bellator 268 main event. He’ll be taking on UFC veteran Corey Anderson, who made it 3-for-3 in Bellator with a 51-second TKO of Ryan Bader in front of a stunned home crowd in Phoenix, Arizona.
