Official Event Program 

Feb 18th 2017

 Bellator 172: Thomson vs. Pitbull aired on Saturday, February 18, 2017, at the SAP Center in San Jose, California. The event aired live in prime time on Spike TV.

The event was scheduled to be headlined by heavyweight legend Fedor Emelianenko against former UFC veteran Matt Mitrione. Emelianenko retired in 2012, but ultimately returned to the sport in 2015. This was to be Emelianenko's first fight in the U.S. since 2011. Mitrione, a 38-year-old former NFL player has scored back-to-back knockout victories since joining Bellator over Carl Seumanutafa and Oli Thompson. Hours before the event, the fight was cancelled due to Mitrione becoming ill. As a result, Josh Thomson vs. Patricky Pitbull was moved up to the main event.
