Vitaly Minakov

Former Bellator heavyweight champion Vitaly Minakov admitted that the upcoming fight with Said Souma could be the last fight of his career. It will happen in case the Russian will not be able to get an American visa.

"For a long time I didn't fight because I couldn't get an American visa. I don't want to move to any Russian organization, it's a lower level. I won't wait for the next Bellator tournament in Russia, if there is no visa, I will most likely end my career," Minakov said.

Minakov-Souma fight will take place on October 23 at the Bellator 269 tournament in Moscow.
