A bout between heavyweight veteran Cheick Kongo and Augusto Sakai will complete Bellator 179’s main card, the promotion announced today. Kongo and Sakai open the Spike-televised main card of the May 19 event, which takes place at The SSE Arena in London. Kongo (26-10-2 MMA, 8-2 BMMA) is riding a four-fight winning streak after a decision over Oli Thompson in February at Bellator 172. He now meets the nearly undefeated Sakai (9-0-1 MMA, 4-0-1 BMMA), who is 4-0 under the promotion’s banner with one draw this past May at Bellator 155 against Dan Charles. The card is headlined by a highly anticipated welterweight clash between onetime UFC title challenger and high-profile acquisition Rory MacDonald (18-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and the hard-hitting Paul Daley (39-14-2 MMA, 5-1 BMMA). Also announced for Bellator 179 is a full slate of preliminary-card bouts, which feature Jay Dods (6-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) vs.
