Minakov Returns

Their first fight was awful, Minakov blamed his performance on an injury (shoulder I think, can't remember) so let's see how this rematch goes. Very weird matchmaking. I wonder if Minakov asked for it to prove something. I sure hope so!
 
At least is a 3 rounder this time
 
Terrible.
It should be Kongo vs. Kharitonov and Minakov vs. either the winner of the HW GP, or someone like Josh Barnett.
 
so basically in took them almost 5 years to book an instant rematch. great job, Bellator.

Right up there with Bader-Davis, Royce-Ken, and Nelson-Mitrione in terms of being rematches that literally a handful of people have been waiting for.
 
Their last fight was over 4 years ago so I think this is a good fight. Kongo's been fighting much better competition lately on the whole and although he's way older I think he looked pretty good against Tim Johnson.
 
Great rematch. They had a battle last time and Kongo has been on a run since then.
