Bellator MMA heads to Sioux Falls, South Dakota tonight (Friday, Aug. 20) for a heavyweight tilt.

In the main event of Bellator 265, 46-year-old former UFC contender and one-time Bellator title challenger Cheick Kongo returns to the cage against Sergei Kharitonov, who just turned 41 years old on August 18th.

Originally, the co-main event was supposed to be between Jay-Jay Wilson and Adam Borics, but Wilson badly missed weight and the fight is cancelled. Welterweight contender Logan Storley and Dante Schiro is bumped up to co-main status as a result.
