Two big heavyweight matchups have been announced for Bellator’s back to back cards taking place in February.
The promotion announced the fights on Tuesday. The first is between Matt Mitrione and Sergei Kharitonov, which will headline Bellator’s Friday night card on February 15th at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Cheick Kongo will face Vitaly Minakov in a rematch the following day at the same venue. A highly anticipated welterweight grand prix quarter final fight between Paul Daley and Michael Page will headline that February 16th card.
Mitrione (13-6) missed out on a place in the final of Bellator’s heavyweight grand prix when he lost a decision to Ryan Bader in October.
