In addition, hometown favorite, David Rickels (16-4, 1 NC) will return to action against an opponent that will be revealed at a later date. "The Caveman" always comes ready to put on a show, whether it's on his way to the cage, or when he's taking on a who's who of Bellator MMA lightweight talent.

A heavyweight contest pitting Cheick Kongo (23-10-2) against the undefeated Augusto Sakai (9-0) has been added to the main card of  "Bellator 150: Galvao vs. Dantas 2" at Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas, on February 26.

Nice hw fight sakai is a great prospect

^Yeah, that one looks interesting

A lightweight contest pitting Dave "The Caveman" Rickels (16-4, 1 NC) against Bobby Cooper (12-5) has been added to the main card of "Bellator 150: Galvao vs. Dantas 2"

"The Caveman," who will return to action for the first time since competing against Michael Chandler this past November. Rickels always comes ready to put on a show, whether it's on his way to the cage, or when he's taking on a who's who of Bellator MMA lightweight talent. The 27-year-old will be making his 16^th appearance under the promotional banner.

The last time Bobby Cooper fought inside the Kansas Star Arena, he took home a closely contested split decision victory over "Bellator 147" co-headliner Pablo Villaseca. Now, "Super Duper" will look to move to 3-0 under the Bellator MMA banner when he faces Rickels in hostile territory. It's worth noting that the Missouri native has only lost twice in his last eight MMA appearances.

Vinicius Spartan (8-3) vs. Cheick Kongo (23-10-2) has been promoted to the main event of ‪Bellator150‬ tomorrow night.

A bantamweight title fight between Galvao/Dantas was set as the main event, but Bellator MMA officials have pulled Galvao due to illness.

^Damn, that sucks main event is off. Still want to see Kongo fight though.

Yeah still a solid card im excited for sure

Womans fight was pretty good alot of back and forth action.

^I missed the first two rounds. Will catch most of the rest live. Definitely going to watch the Kongo fight live.

Grove and Rickels were impressive.

Kongo just barely got by Spartan.

Agreed bro grove and rickels nice finishes and kongo survived a close one.....good night of fights.

How did one of the judges give the fight to Kongo 30-27? lol In the round he got floored he still won?

Speaking of Kongo, if Fedor has a fight in Bellator that would be a good one, Kongo or Lashley. Knocking out a big buff dude on tv would look good to the casual fan. Put Fedor on a card with another Kimbo fight so the casuals would get to see a real legend in Fedor.

Yeah, that score makes no sense.

Fedor on CBS against Rogers was one of the highest rated MMA fights in history in the US with around 6 million viewers.  Adding Kimbo and Fedor on a card would be huge.

Fedor vs. Sergei
Kimbo vs. Royce

....would do huge numbers

Oh yeah, that would be record highs I believe. If Bellator doesn't get their HW champ back they should do a 4 man HW tourney over two events with Kongo, Lashley, Fedor and Kharitonov. Or even if their champ does come back, have a couple of those guys fight and throw the other 2 at the champ for title defenses.

^That would be a great tournament. They should hold something like this if Minakov returns or not.
