AEW’s Jake Hager confirms date for his next Bellator MMA fight

AEW star Jake Hager has his next fight lined up.

While doing a virtual signing hosted by Captain’s Corner, Hager noted his next fight will take place in October. Bellator MMA has an event scheduled for October 29th in Milan, Italy. Hager added that he’s hoping to fight again in December.

“Honestly, I feel I’m still coming into my prime even though I just turned 40 years old. I have a fight in October. I’d like to fight again in December, so I think I still have plenty of MMA fights left.”

It's unclear who his opponent will be. Hager was asked about his dream fights, which he named fighters including yan Bader and Fedor Emelianenko.

Hager holds a 3-0-1 record under the Bellator promotion, with his most recent bout taking place at Bellator 250 in October 2020.

Hager got involved in the main event of Wednesday’s Dynamite between Daniel Garcia and the returning Bryan Danielson as Hager assisted Garcia in picking up the victory.
