After completing the first half of the Heavyweight Grand Prix semifinals on Friday, the action continues on Saturday night in New York with a pair of marquee names on the docket. Light heavyweight champion Ryan Bader steamrolled past Matt Mitrione for a decisive decision win at Bellator 207 and now awaits the winner of Fedor Emelianenko and Chael Sonnen on Saturday. The event, a short bus ride from Friday's festivities, brings us just one fight away from crowning the first heavyweight champion since 2016.
Emelianenko got here by scoring a thunderous knockout of Frank Mir in May while Sonnen scored a grinding decision win over Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. On the undercard are a few more familiar faces to fight fans like Benson Henderson, Cheick Kongo and Henry Corrales.
