Cheick Kongo Signs With Bellator Fighting Championships

Bellator seems to be making a habit of signing ex UFC stars. We heard earlier today that Rampage Jackson had been signed by BFC, and now the news that Cheick Kongo has also signed has emerged. The number wo MMA organisation is certainly starting to form an impressive roster.

Kongo was a long time gatekeeper of the UFC‘s Heavyweight division, but parted ways with them following his first round KO loss to Roy Nelson. He will join the likes of Paul Daley (sorta), his team mate Jackson, Roger Huerta, Vladdy Matyushenko, Seth Petruzelli and many more on the list of BFC fighters with UFC histories.

So how will the big Frenchman fare with Bellator? Having competed at a high level for so long will give Kongo a wealth of experience, experience that could be quite telling against Bewllator’s less than stellar Heavyweight division. Stay tuned to Lowkick!
