The fight card for Bellator 140 continues to take shape, as the California-based promotion Wednesday announced a welterweight showdown between Brennan Ward and Gavin Sterritt.
Headlined by a 170-pound title fight between champ Douglas Lima and challenger Andrey Koreshkov, Bellator 140 will take place July 17 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
Ward conquered the Bellator Season 9 middleweight tournament but came up short in his title bid when he was submitted by then-champion Alexander Shlemenko. The Connecticut-based fighter’s next bout saw him punched out in just 21 seconds at the hands of Tamdan McCrory.
