After this bout he came back to win beating Dustin Jacoby (=Lawal vs Jacoby) and Joe Vedepo (=Lawal vs Vedepo).
His opponent, the black belt in karate and kendo Cheick Kongo, has an official record of 22-9-2 (73% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.18 heavyweight; he lost in 2014 as well, against Vitaly Minakov (bout valid for the Bellator Hw title, Minakov vs Kongo), but then he defeated Eric Smith and Lavar Johnson (=Kongo vs Johnson).
