Highly touted heavyweight prospect Cole Konrad (2-0) is the latest
addition to the upstart Bellator Fighting Championships organization.
The former NCAA wrestling champion and current training partner of UFC
heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar was officially announced as the
newest member of the organization immediately after a first-round TKO
win at a Matrix Fights event in Philadelphia.
MMAjunkie.com has since learned that the 25-year-old is expected to compete in two
non-tournament bouts during Bellator’s second season, and positive
results will likely lead to a spot in an as-yet-unannounced heavyweight
tournament during the promotion’s third season.
