It’s a fight nearly two decades in the making, as two standouts from the late and lamented PRIDE FC get set to throwdown in PRIDE’s home territory, Japan.
Former PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko will square off in a bout with former UFC light heavyweight titleholder Quinton Jackson in the main event of Bellator 237 at the venerated Saitama Super Arena.
Bellator 237, the promotion’s debut in Japan, takes place Saturday (Sunday locally) in Saitama, near Tokyo. The main card streams on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie.
Bellator’s cameras followed along as Emelianenko (38-6 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) and Jackson (38-13 MMA, 5-2 BMMA) prepare for battle. So while you count down the hours to the big showdown of former world champions, enjoy “Bellator 237 Countdown: Fedor vs. Rampage.” You can watch it in the video linked above.
