Two heavyweight bouts have been added to Bellator 225 in Bridgeport, Conn., on Aug. 24.
In the co-main event slot, former champion Vitaly Minakov is set to take on Javy Ayala, while Tyrell Fortune battles fellow undefeated prospect Rudy Schaffroth in a main card contest, sources told MMA Fighting on Tuesday. MMAjunkie and Sherdog first reported the news.
Minakov (21-1) recently suffered the first defeat of his professional career, losing a rematch to Cheick Kongo in a No. 1 contender bout in February.
