Bellator will reveal a major new addition to its roster this week.

The MMA promotion will unveil their latest signing on Thursday 22 August but until then, details on who it is are scarce – with a press release simply noting ‘a major new signing’ to Bellator’s ‘international roster of talent’ will be announced.

Teaser shots provided do little to help reveal his identity – but we can safely assume it’s a male fighter.

And judging from one of the promotional shots, Bellator’s latest arrival is huge – and could perhaps be an addition to their heavyweight ranks currently ruled by Ryan Bader.

Bellator has events in Connecticut and California before heading to Dublin for the return of their European series on 27 September.

Hackney’s Michael ‘Venom’ Page takes on Richard Kiely at the 3Arena that night with James Gallagher in action against Cal Ellenor.
