NEW YORK – Heavyweights Cheick Kongo and Roy Nelson could wind up meeting a second time to determine the final alternate in the heavyweight grand prix. Bellator President Scott Coker said Nelson (23-15 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) currently stands as the No. 1 alternate in the eight-man competition. If he and Kongo win their upcoming fights, they could get one last shot to make it into the bracket. “Cheick wins, and if there’s a hiccup (in the tournament), we should probably have those two alternates fight, and then the winner can fight in the finals,” Coker said today during a press conference.
