After 21 months of inactivity in the division, Bellator
MMA is ready to open Ryan Bader‘s
heavyweight strap up for dispute.
On Friday, Bellator MMA will crown a new interim heavyweight
champion at
Bellator 261. Timothy
Johnson and Valentin
Moldavsky will fight for the interim belt since titleholder
Bader is currently busy competing in the Bellator light heavyweight
grand prix. All fighters made their contracted weights for the
event.
The bigger main in the main event will be Johnson (15-6), who is
arguably on the best winning streak of his career. In his last
three outings, Johnson rattled off upset wins over Tyrell
Fortune, Matt
Mitrione and Cheick
Kongo. Now he’ll look to win his first belt, and he weighed in
at 260 ready pounds.
In his way is Moldavsky, a 10-1 Russian prospect. The FedorTeam
fighter has been perfect with Bellator, winning five straight
fights. His most recent victory was a decision over Roy Nelson.
He’ll be the much smaller fighter come Saturday, as he hit the
scales weighing 234 pounds.
Bellator 261’s main card will air live on Showtime starting at 9
p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The prelims will be broadcasted on YouTube
starting at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.
