Cheick Kongo will no longer face Brazilian up-and-comer Augusto Sakai at Bellator 150. Instead he will face another Brazilian looking to make a name for himself in the form of Vinicius “Spartan” Queiroz. This fight was supposed to take place at Bellator 106 in 2013, but an ACL injury forced Queiroz to withdraw.
The replacement bout was first reported by mmapremium.com.br.
Queiroz (8-3) returned to action in September following nearly two-years away, defeating kickboxer Ewerton Teixeira via arm-triangle submission in round two. Prior to this he knocked out Lavar Johnson in 23-seconds in October of 2013.
