Bellator MMA is set to bring California a stacked card at the end of January, headlined by the heavyweight tournament finals of Fedor Emelianenko vs. Ryan Bader.
Via press release, the organization announced their full fight card of five bouts on the main card along with 11 preliminary tilts. Bellator 214 “Fedor vs. Bader” will air live on the Paramount Network at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and will be simulcast on DAZN. The preliminary bouts will stream on Bellator.com, the Bellator Mobile App and DAZN, as well.
Headlining the event will be the finals of the Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix, where former Pride Fighting Championships heavyweight king Emelianenko will meet Bellator light heavyweight champion Bader for the heavyweight belt. Co-headlining will be a featherweight clash between uber-prospect Aaron Pico against Henry Corrales.
Also on the main card will be former professional wrestling star Jake “Jack Swagger” Hager making his pro debut against J.W. Kiser at heavyweight. A bantamweight bout between top contenders Juan Archuleta and Ricky Bandejas will take place, with the two men sharing a combined record of 32-2 with each man only suffering one loss in their respective careers. Rounding out the main card will be Adel Altamimi, representing Jay Glazer’s “Merging Vets and Players” organization, against Brandon McMahan at bantamweight.
