Bellator 167: "Sakara vs. Beltran" will take place at Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy, on Dec. 10, 2016, the latest hybrid show to combine the Bellator MMA and Bellator Kickboxing brands since Bellator 152 in Torino. Italian-born Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran Alessio Sakara (18-11, 2 NC) made his promotional debut at the show in Torino several months ago, cementing his place in the Light Heavyweight division with a second round knockout of "Professional Predator" Brian Rogers.
It should come as little surprise that Sakara would be booked for Bellator's return to Italy; however, hard-hitting "Mexecutioner" Joey Beltran (17-13, 1 NC) will be another tough test.
