Bellator have unveiled the full main card for their November 4 show, set to take place at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Light-heavyweight champion Liam McGeary (11-0) is to defend his belt for a second time, as he faces former UFC contender, Phil Davis (16-3).
Having decisioned Emmanuel Newton to claim the title back in February, 2015, McGeary has fought just once since, stopping Tito Ortiz via an inverted triangle choke in September of the same year. Injury has forced the Brit to spend the majority of 2016 on the sidelines, missing out on the promotion’s first jaunt to the UK.
One man who fought on the London show was welterweight favourite, Paul Daley (38-14-2). ‘Semtex’ came up short against an in-form Douglas Lima, dropping the decision on UK soil.
This time our, Daley is booked to face Derek Anderson (14-2-0-1NC) – who makes the step up to welterweight, having competed previously at 155lbs.
