Another major fight has been announced for Bellator MMA’s historic 200th event.
The promotion revealed on Monday that former Bellator light heavyweight champion Phil Davis will fight Linton Vassell on May 25th inside London’s SSE Arena. Paramount Network will have the tape-delayed broadcast for US viewers. No TV deal has been confirmed for the United Kingdom.
Davis (18-4, 1 NC) signed with Bellator in 2015 after several years as a top-10 fighter in the UFC. “Mr. Wonderful” won Bellator’s one-night 205-pound tournament, then bested Muhammed Lawal by decision to earn a title shot against Liam McGeary.
