Bellator 268: Nemkov vs. Anglickas live results and post-fight interviews
Bellator 268 acts as a light heavyweight showcase featuring the semifinals of the weight class’ grand prix which closes out the show.
Vadim Nemkov looks to make his second straight title defense when squaring off with short notice replacement, Julius Anglickas who was originally set to face Karl Albrektsson earlier in the night. The champion in Nemkov anticipated a clash with former UFC title challenger Anthony “Rumble” Johnson until Johnson fell ill.
Awaiting the champion following the night’s conclusion will be the victor of the co-main event pitting last Bellator light heavyweight titleholder and current heavyweight king, Ryan Bader, against the red-hot Corey Anderson.
Directly prior to the tournament action will be a lightweight grappler’s delight as black belts collide. Former UFC and WEC champion Benson Henderson aims to snap a two-fight skid at the expense of Brent Primus, who also intends to rebound off a July stumble.
My MMA News has all the results as they happen accompanied by interviews with night’s winners.
