Bellator 172: Fedor vs. Mitrione could be one of the most important cards in the history of the company. The main event comes from the heavyweight division as Fedor Emelianenko fights in the United States for the first time since 2011. He will take on Matt Mitrone, while fellow heavyweights Cheick Kongo and Oli Thompson will also be on the main card.


Main Card

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Matt Mitrione – Heavyweight

Emelianenko (36-4, 1 NC) retired in 2012, but came back for a submission win over Singh Jaideep in December 2015, and then a controversial majority decision over Fabio Maldonado in June. Mitrione (11-5) has knockout wins over Thompson and Carl Seumanutafa since coming to Bellator, and he is dangerous because he fought three times in 2016. Emelianenko fought once and did not look good, especially early. Emelianenko will go down as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time in any division (and arguably he greatest heavyweight to ever fight), but he might simply be past his best, or past what he needs to be to beat Mitrione, unless he can get him to the mat.

Pick: Mitrione
