Bader and Lawal square off in the Bellator 199 main event on May 12 in San Jose, Calif., in a quarterfinal round bout of the 2018 Heavyweight Grand Prix. The winner will advance in the tournament and meet Matt Mitrione later this year. The winner of that semifinal bout will then move on to face the winner of Fedor Emelianenko vs. Chael Sonnen.
