Yesterday, it was announced that Bellator MMA would be holding a blockbuster eight-man tournament over the course of 2018 to crown a new heavyweight champion.
The tournament will feature heavyweight legends, as well as light heavyweights looking to test their hand at heavyweight.
The tournament participants will be Fedor Emelianenko, Frank Mir, Matt Mitrione, Quinton Jackson, Roy Nelson, Ryan Bader, Chael Sonnen, and King Mo. This has all been confirmed, but no quarter-final match-ups had been announced.
Well, it looks like Frank Mir may have accidentally broken some news on his Phone Booth Fighting podcast.
