Bellator aims to make an impression with its first card of 2018. In the main event of Saturday’s Bellator 192, Chael Sonnen and Quinton Jackson face off in the first bout of the Bellator heavyweight grand prix tournament. The co-headliner is the much-anticipated title fight between welterweight champion Douglas Lima and former UFC title challenger Rory MacDonald . Sonnen and Jackson are two of the most prominent names competing in the eight-man tournament to decide Bellator’s first heavyweight champion since the promotion stripped Vitaly Minakov of the title in 2016. Minakov last defended the belt in April 2014.
