Matt Mitrione, Roy Nelson pass out-of-competition drug tests ahead of Bellator 194

The next Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix tournament first-round match seems ready to go.

Matt Mitrione and Roy Nelson both passed out-of-competition drug tests ahead of the Bellator 194 main event fight, per Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation director Mike Mazzulli.

The two will meet Feb. 16 at Mohegan Sun. The winner of their fight will face the winner of a May matchup between Ryan Bader and Muhammed Lawal in the semifinals of the tourney. Nelson already owns a knockout victory at Mitrione at the TUF 16 Finale in 2012.
