Bellator return to Italy for the seventh time later this year on Saturday, October 12th from the Allianz Cloud and will feature three different cards. This is the promotion’s debut in Milan as they continue their expansion across Europe, and the Italian fans will be treated to a night consisting of Bellator 230: Carvalho v Nemkov, Bellator Milan: Manhoef v Bahati and Bellator Kickboxing 12.
Former Bellator middleweight titleholder, Rafael Carvalho (16-3), steps up to the light heavyweight division as he takes on Vadim Nemkov (10-2) in the Bellator 230 headliner. With no clear number one contender for Ryan Bader’s light heavyweight belt in sight, the winner of this bout may position himself at the front of the line for the title shot.
