Melvin Manhoef, Oliver Enkamp among additions to Bellator Paris

Longtime MMA veteran Melvin Manhoef is one of the latest additions to Bellator’s first trip to Paris, France on Oct. 10, the company announced Friday. Manhoef is set to face Simon Biyong in a light heavyweight contest.

Oliver Enkamp, a Swedish welterweight prospect who’s unbeaten since leaving the UFC and joining Bellator in 2019, will also be part of the show at the Accor Arena, taking on promotional newcomer Emmanuel Dawa.

The updated card now includes 10 bouts, including the heavyweight main event between Cheick Kongo and Tim Johnson.

Manhoef (32-14-1, 2 no contests) has been on the Bellator roster since 2014, a run that includes a pair of middleweight championship bouts with then-champion Rafael Carvalho.
