The inaugural Bellator heavyweight champion Cole Konrad is back for an encore. He won’t have to defend his shiny new belt just yet, but he’s back in the fray, nevertheless.
Konrad is set to face his stiffest test to date Saturday in a non-title
affair against Paul Buentello on the main card of
Bellator 48. The event takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville,
Conn., and airs live on MTV2.
For Konrad, it’s been a little too long. Ten months on the sidelines has been time wasted, and he’s itching to get back in the cage.
