Headlining the event will be the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix finals that features the greatest heavyweight of all time, Fedor Emelianenko as he looks to capture gold for the first time in 10 years.

Standing in his way will be an incredibly stiff test, however, as he takes on the current light heavyweight king in Ryan Bader who has looked even better at heavyweight since the tournament’s start.

Bader dispatched of both Muhammad “King Mo” Lawal and Matt Mitrione with complete ease to get to the finals whereas Emelianenko engaged in short, thrilling wars with Frank Mir and Chael Sonnen. There’s no denying that both men earned their spots.
