Gegard Mousasi vs. Austin Vanderford Targeted For February
Bellator middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi is scheduled to make his next title defense against Austin Vanderford on February 25 at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.
MMA Junkie’s Farah Hannoun, John Morgan, and Nolan King were the first to report the news of the matchup, although the promotion itself is yet to officially announce anything regarding the fight or event. Mousasi is 6-1 in his seven Bellator appearances and is coming off of a third-round TKO victory over John Salter back at Bellator 264. Vanderford meanwhile is undefeated as a pro at 11-0 currently and defeated Fabian Edwards via a unanimous decision at Bellator 259 in his last outing.
