Bellator’s inaugural PPV has added another solid main card bout as Cheick Kongo will face Vinicius Spartan in a heavyweight tournament final.

According toBellator CEO & Chairman Bjorn Rebney, “Kongo vs. Spartan should be absolute fireworks, and will be a fantastic way to kick off what should be a historic night on November 2^nd from the Long Beach Arena.”

Kongo, who secured the final’s appearance with a KO of Mark Goldbeer added “I want to fight the best in Bellator so I can be the best. When I try to do things as a competitor, I want to be the best. I messed up before because I wasn't focused like I've been from the beginning. But, now … I will be the best. It's my time. I came to Bellator for the opportunity to show the best Cheick Kongo. And that's it.”

Facing Kongo will be Spartan, who’s fresh off of a KO of Lavar Johnson to move himself onward in the tourney. According to the Tram Nogueira member, “Winning a Bellator tournament today is very difficult and actually achieving victory has tremendous value, I prefer it to be difficult and I know Cheick is going to be very tough--that is a motivating factor for me and my team.”
