Cheick Kongo has a message for his opponent at Bellator 208 on Saturday night: I have no idea who you are.
It’s nothing personal, mind you. His opponent in the main card bout at Nassau Coliseum, Timothy Johnson, is actually one of the more memorable heavyweight persona to come down the pike in recent years, with the combination of his magnificent mustache and his penchant for getting into bloody brawls, win or lose.
It’s just that at the stage of your career Kongo now finds himself in, the guy on the other side of the cage at fight time is just another face.
