American MMA fighter Roy Nelson stressed that he was going to become the champion in two weight classes during the Grand Prix Bellator. Nelson's first opponent will be Matt Mitrione, the heavyweight champion, and in case of victory Nelson will face the winner in the pair Muhammed Lawal vs Bellator light heavyweight champion Ryan Bader.
"I will beat Matt Mitrione and become Bellator heavyweight champion. Matt will be my first step. The second will be the champion of the series in the light heavyweight division. So I will become a champion in two weight categories of Bellator", said Roy Nelson.
