MMA and kickboxing legend Mirko Cro Cop will make his Bellator debut in May, when he faces fellow longtime veteran Roy Nelson . Bellator officials today announced that Cro Cop (36-11-2 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) and Nelson (23-15 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) will meet at Bellator 200, which takes place May 25 at SSE Arena in London. The contest serves as a rematch of the pair’s October 2011 meeting at UFC 137, which Nelson won via third-round TKO. Cro Cop, 43, comes to Bellator on an impressive eight-fight winning streak. While he fought just once in 2017, a New Year’s Eve TKO win over Japanese veteran Tsuyoshi Kohsaka at Rizin FF 9, Cro Cop went 4-0 in 2016, including three victories in a three-day stretch to claim Rizin’s openweight grand prix title
