Bellator 216 was held Saturday night in Uncasville, Connecticut and there was many references of Jake Hager (Jack Swagger) made throughout the show. There were two big references made to him over the course of the night and now we know a lot more about Hager’s next appearance.
It was revealed that Hager will next be in action on May 11, 2019, for Bellator 221 in Chicago, Illinois. As far as his opponent, nothing has been made official yet but there were definitely some teasers throughout the show tonight as Tyrell Fortune (6-0) called out Hager and said he is ready for a real fight.
What do you think of the possibility of this fight and are you excited for Hager’s second fight in May? Comment below and let us know.
