Bellator MMA has released the latest episode of their Countdown series ahead of Bellator 194.
Bellator MMA is back with the next fight in their World Heavyweight Grand Prix just a week from today. In advance of the big show, featuring Roy Nelson taking on Matt Mitrione, the promotion has released a new episode of their Countdown series. Featuring a behind the scenes look at both home life and training for the pair of big men, it’s a fascinating glimpse at the fighters’ daily routines.
Included, a look at Roy Nelson training at The Money Team gym, and how a fighter from Las Vegas wound up with the moniker ‘Big Country.’ You’ll also head home with Matt Mitrione, who can’t let a crooked painting slide, and is working out at his old stomping grounds at Purdue.
Nelson and Mitrione have met once before, back in the UFC. On that occasion, Big Country got the finish. Will things be different this time around? We’ll know in a week. Bellator 194: Nelson vs. Mitrione takes place February 16 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT. The main card airs on the Paramount Network (formerly Spike TV) starting at 9PM EST, following the free online prelims.
