Former UFC and current Bellator heavyweight Cheick Kongo has his first bout in 2016 lined up. Kongo will face undefeated prospect Augusto Sakai at Bellator 150 on Feb. 26. That event will take place at the Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.
Kongo, 40, stands at 23-10-2 in professional mixed martial arts and 5-2 inside the Bellator cage. He most recently competed at Bellator 139 in June where he defeated former Bellator heavyweight champion Alexander Volkov via unanimous decision.
Sakai, 24, is a perfect 9-0 in MMA and 3-0 in Bellator events.
