Bellator 237: Countdown To Fedor Vs. Rampage

For years, Fedor Emelianenko and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson ruled the heavyweight and light heavyweight divisions.

The two became superstars competing in Japan.

But they never crossed paths.

Now, at Bellator 237 from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, Emelianenko and Jackson will square off.

Hear from the fighters and their coaches, along with an in-depth preview of the fight, in this special video.

The card will also feature Michael Chandler taking on Sidney Outlaw and Michael Page meeting Shinsho Anzai.

Rizin, which will be co-promoting the event, will take place a day later with Kai Asakura and Manel Kape battling for the vacant bantamweight title. Kyoji Horiguchi suffered an injury and was forced to vacate the belt.
