Tonight’s Bellator 268 event was co-headlined by a light heavyweight grand prix semifinal bout which pits Corey Anderson up against Ryan Bader.<\/p>\n

Bader (28-7 MMA) had advanced to the tournament semifinals by earning a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Lyoto Machida. Prior to that win, ‘Darth<\/a>‘ was coming off a TKO loss to Vadim Nemkov, where he surrendered the promotions<\/a> 205lbs title.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Corey Anderson (16-5 MMA) had gone 2-0 since joining the Bellator ranks in the fall of 2020. ‘Overtime’ earned his spot in tonight’s semifinal matchup by defeating Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov earlier this Spring.<\/p>\n
