In anticipation of its mixed martial arts showcase next month at Scottrade Center, Bellator MMA will present an open-to-the-public press conference Tuesday at Ballpark Village featuring the two heavyweight fighters that are scheduled to meet in the cage in the marquee match-up.
The official press conference, which promotes June 18’s “Bellator: Unfinished Business” event, will take place Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Fox Sports Midwest Live!
Attending Tuesday will be “The World’s Most Dangerous Man” Ken Shamrock and Kimbo Slice, who will face off in the heavyweight main event.
