Joe Warren vs. Sirwan Kakai co-headlines Bellator 161

Bellator 161 has its co-main event, and it features one of the promotion's most famous faces. In a press release written on Wednesday, Bellator MMA announced the addition of former featherweight and bantamweight champion Joe Warren against UFC veteran Sirwan Kakai. The card will take place at H-E-B Center in Cedar Park, Texas on Friday, September 16th.

Warren (13-5) was violently suplexed and then choked out cold by prospect Darrion Caldwell in the Bellator 151 main event in Thackerville, Oklahoma. If you're into purely coincidental and utterly pointless facts, Warren's last three losses -- to Caldwell, Marcos Galvao, and Pat Curran -- have all occurred in the month of March.
