Bellator’s marquee doubleheader weekend came to a conclusion Saturday with Bellator 208, which took place at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., with a main card that aired on Paramount and streamed on DAZN following prelims on MMAjunkie. In the main event, former PRIDE champ Fedor Emelianenko (38-5 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) secured his spot in the Bellator heavyweight grand prix final against Ryan Bader when he earned a first-round TKO victory over Chael Sonnen (30-16-1 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) in their semifinal matchup. Emelianenko has been nothing short of outstanding in recent years, but his thrilling performance wasn’t the only point of note on the card.
