Christian M’Pumbu last fought at Bellator 55 in October 2011, where he dropped a unanimous decision loss to Travis Wiuff in a non-title bout. Prior to that he scored a third round TKO victory over Rich Hale at Bellator 45 in May 2011, becoming the new Bellator Light Heavyweight Champion. He had earned a spot in the Bellator Season 4 LHW Tournament Final after defeating both Chris Davis and Tim Carpenter via TKO. M’Pumbu will now look to put another notch in the win column with a big performance against Vegh.

“I am extremely excited about this opportunity to defend my Bellator Light Heavyweight World Championship,” M’Pumbu said. “I look forward to getting back in the cage and putting on a show for all of the amazing Bellator fans throughout the world.  On February 28th, I will have my hand raised and remain Bellator Light Heavyweight World Champion.”

Attila Vegh is currently riding an eight fight winning streak, most recently defeating Travis Wiuff via first round KO at a Bellator Summer Series event in August. Prior to that he scored a split decision victory over Emanuel Newton in July, and a first round submission win over Zelg Galešić in June. Attila has a chance to take home the title with a big win over M’Pumbu on Feb. 28.

“This fight is all I am focused on,” Vegh said. “I’ve never worked harder for something in my life, and on February 28th, I will hold that belt and become the new Bellator World Champion.”
