At 34, the veteran American gets a third shot at the Bellator light heavyweight gold. Corey Anderson first contested for the title against Vadim Nemkov in early 2022, but the fight ended in a no-contest following an accidental clash of heads. In the rematch in November 2022, the number one ranked Bellator light heavyweight was picked apart from distance and lost by unanimous decision. Corey Anderson splashed into prominence when he won The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) in 2014 in the light heavyweight division. He then competed in the UFC, making it into the top five in the 205-pound class. “Overtime” debuted in Bellator MMA in 2020.

Karl Moore won the light heavyweight title at Cage Warriors, following which he made a failed bid to snag the heavyweight title of the England-based promotion.
