Top welterweight Rory MacDonald will make his Bellator debut against veteran Paul Daley at Bellator 179 in the promotions return to London.
Bellator President Scott Coker announced the bout on Thursday morning.
Coker stated that when he initially signed MacDonald, the goal was to always put a fight together with Daley. Now that that has come to fruition the winner will be granted a welterweight title shot.
MacDonald (18-4) heads to Bellator on a two-fight losing skid. The former top UFC welterweight signed with the promotion in August 2016 and fans have been awaiting his debut since.
