The Bellator Light Heavyweight Grand Prix continues in the desert tonight as they head to Phoenix, Arizona to settle the dust in the semi-finals between three of the best in the division and one man looking to have his Rocky moment.
Bellator 268 Results
Ryan Bader is matched up against a fellow UFC veteran in Corey Anderson, both men have a history of training in the past that Anderson has talked about this week. For Bader though, he has dismissed all the talk and is looking to win the Grand Prix and get his belt back.
The main event, though, sees the man that took the belt from Bader in Vadim Nemkov going against the Grand Prix substitute Julius Anglickas. Nemkov looks to further cement his status as the new star of Bellator while also working his way to being discussed as the best light heavyweight in the world. In the case of Anglickas, he is looking to shock the world and dismantle both Bellator and Ryan Bader’s plans of a rematch in the tournament title. Daniel Cormier was able to pull it off before, can Anglickas?
Before that question gets answered we also get treated to an action-packed matchup between former UFC champion Benson Henderson and former Bellator champion Brent Primus and Henry Corrales battling against Vladyslav Parubchenko.
The undercard has a special blend of international talent but it is Maria Henderson, Benson Henderson’s wife, who has fans eager to watch the most.
The Bellator 268 main card can be seen on Showtime at 10:30 PM ET/ 7:30 PM PT and the undercard can be seen on the Bellator App starting at 7:00 PM ET/ 4:00 PM PT.
