There are a lot of Russians at the tournament, despite the anti-Russian position of the Bellator leadership. It is very interesting how they will present themselves and who will come out with the Russian flag, or rather will be allowed to come out.
The return of Avsaragova
Diana Avsaragova will return to the cage after almost a year of inactivity. If she wins, she can count on a title shot.
Opportunity for Tokov
Anatoly Tokov will fight Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Eblin.
Emelianenko’s last fight
The rematch with Rayon Bader should be the final fight in Fedor Emelianenko’s career, but this is not certain.
