Friday, October 20, 2017. Bellator 185, held in the Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, Connecticut, will see one of the biggest debuts for the promotion yet when Gegard Mousasi steps into the Bellator cage. The four time World Champion recently signed with the promotion after being left unhappy with the UFC‘s latest contract offer. Looking to put an end to Mousasi’s impressive 5 fight win streak (including TKOs over Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort) is Russia’s Alexander Shlemenko, who is coming off an impressive 25 second finish of Brandon Halsey. There will be no shortage of experience in what promises to be an intense main event with an insane 116 professional MMA fights between the two.
The card will also see Neiman Gracie look to extend his unbeaten professional record to 7 against promotional newcomer Zak Bucia and boxing standout Heather Hardy is set to make just her second mixed martial arts appearance against Kristina Williams, who will be making her professional debut.
