Matt Mitrione and Sergei Kharitonov Bellator 215 main event only lasted 15 seconds and ends in a no contest.

It is a good thing that Bellator is right back at it tomorrow at the very same venue with a stacked card, because fans may want a refund after the way tonight’s co-main and main event ended.

The main event lasted all of 15 seconds and featured one confirmed blow – the illegal groin strike that ended the fight. (watch below via Twitter):

This is an unfortunate end to a relatively weak, but at times exciting, card. If Kharitonov’s family jewels feel better, may I suggest having these two run it back sometime soon.

Roy Nelson Returns At Bellator 207

“Big Country” is back!

The post Roy Nelson Returns At Bellator 207 appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Mixed martial arts (MMA) heavyweight veteran Roy Nelson is set to return at Bellator 207.

The 42-year-old made his Bellator MMA debut back in September of last year. He won a unanimous decision against Javy Ayala at Bellator 183. Nelson then lost in the Bellator MMA heavyweight grand prix quarterfinal to Mat Mitrione via Majority Decision.

Previously, Nelson had been with the UFC for almost eight years. He won The Ultimate Fighter Season 10 (TUF 10) when he knocked out Brendan Schaub in 2009. Over the years he’d establish himself as a favorite amongst the UFC fanbase.

Nelson signed with Bellator MMA in May of 2017 and didn’t look back. He continues to search for his first world title in MMA since holding the IFL Heavyweight Title back in 2008.

MMA Junkie has now confirmed that Nelson will return to the Bellator cage against Sergei Kharitonov. The fight goes down at Bellator 207 from the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on October 13, 2018.

Kharitonov is a near-20-year veteran of the MMA game. He is currently on a four-fight win streak. Those fights have taken place under the Bellator and M-1 Challenge banners. He is a proven knockout artist but has a fair amount of submissions on his record as well.

Nelson and Kharitonov will serve as the co-main event for Bellator 207 in October. Check out the card for the Uniondale event thus far below:

  • Matt Mitrione vs. Ryan Bader (Bellator heavyweight grand prix semifinal)
  • Sergei Kharitonov vs. Roy Nelson
  • Mike Kimbel vs. Alex Potts
