Bellator 219 sets sail tonight, March 29, from the Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California. The top of the billing pairs up a set of Bellator veterans in Saad Awad and Brandon Girtz, who between the two, own 55-overall MMA matches and 31-promotional bouts. The co-main event of the evening will see former featherweight champion Daniel Straus move up to the lightweight division to face former Aaron Pico victim Shane Kruchten. Before that, Bellator’s former welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov looks to get back into the win column when he welcomes the 13-4 promotional newcomer Mike Jasper. Opening up the main card, kickboxing superstar Joe Schilling steps back into the MMA arena to face the more MMA-experienced Keith Berry.
