Joe Warren returns at Bellator 161 on Sept. 16 to face Sirwan Kakai

Bellator 161 "Kongo vs. Johnson" happens Sept. 16, 2016 at H-E-B Center in Cedar Park, Texas. A heavyweight main event headlines the card as Cheick Kongo searches for a third straight win against rising star Tony Johnson.

An exciting co-main event has just announced for the card that puts the self-proclaimed "Baddest Man on the Planet" Joe Warren (13-5) against UFC and Bellator bantamweight veteran Sirwan Kakai (12-4).

Both men have something to prove with this bout. Warren is looking to bounce back from a one-sided loss to Darrion Caldwell in the main event of Bellator 151, a fight Warren wanted to win to get back into title contention.
