PHOTO | This Bellator 208 poster is something else

One of the biggest fights on Bellator MMA’s calendar is the Bellator 208 main event, which will see heavyweight legend Fedor Emelianenko meet three-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen in the semifinal round of the promotion’s exciting Heavyweight Grand Prix.

This week, the promotion released a promotional poster for this Bellator 208 card, and it’s really something.

In this poster, Fedor Emelianenko is superimposed in front of the Russian flag. Not a whole lot to see there. “The American Gangster” Chael Sonnen, however, is decked out like Apollo Creed, squaring up valiantly in front of the American flag.

See it below.
