It’ll be nothing but heavyweights populating the top two slots at Bellator 207 this fall.
MMAjunkie reported earlier this week that Roy Nelson and Sergei Kharitonov will face off in the Bellator 207 co-main event. The main event is the heavyweight grand prix semifinal between Matt Mitrione and current Bellator light heavyweight champion Ryan Bader.
Nelson (23-15) lost to Mitrione by majority decision in the tournament quarterfinals back in February, and hasn’t competed since then. “Big Country” was due to rematch Mirko Cro Cop at Bellator 200, but Cro Cop was forced to withdraw due to injury.
