Bellator 153: "Koreshkov vs. Henderson" comes to Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., on April 22, 2016, with a main event between former UFC Lightweight champion, Benson Henderson, making his promotional debut at Welterweight against division champion Andrey Koreshkov in the Spike TV main event.
Earlier this week, Bellator MMA announced a supporting line up of fights that should increase interest in the show. Patricio "Pitbull" Freire (24-3) returns for the first time since losing the Featherweight title to Daniel Straus in Nov. 2015 against streaking Bellator veteran John "Macapa" Teixeira.
Since his Bellator debut at Bellator 128, Teixeira has notched three straight split decision wins in the highly competitive Featherweight division.
