Koscheck-Daley 2 Co-Headlines Bellator 158; ‘Venom’ Page, Linton Vassell Also Set for London

The heavyweight main event between Kimbo Slice and James Thompson won’t be the only rematch on the bill when Bellator MMA makes its English debut this summer.

The California-based organization on Monday announced that Josh Koscheck and Paul Daley will co-headline Bellator 158 in a three-round welterweight affair. The event takes place July 16 at O2 Arena in London.

Koscheck and Daley’s first meeting came inside the Octagon for a co-headlining clash at UFC 113 in May 2010. Former college wrestling standout Koscheck used his grappling skills to control and frustrate Daley, who lashed out after the final bell with a late punch to Koscheck’s face.
