One of the planet’s best heavyweights outside of the UFC will be returning to Bellator this weekend, as former champ Vitaly Minakov will battle Cheick Kongo.

The undefeated, Russian heavyweight will face Kongo at Bellator 216, which will go down on Saturday in Uncasville. Due to a contract dispute, Minakov (21-0) hasn’t fought under the Bellator banner since 2014.
