Andrey Koreshkov vs. Lorenz Larkin to headline Bellator 229

A welterweight clash between Andrey Koreshkov and Lorenz Larkin has been re-booked.

Bellator MMA president Scott Coker announced Friday that Koreshkov (22-3) and Larkin (20-7, 1 NC) will fight in the main event of Bellator 229 at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California, on Oct. 4.

The two contenders were originally set to fight at Bellator 219 this past March, but Larkin was forced to withdraw due to an injury. Koreshkov went on to defeat replacement Mike Jasper by unanimous decision.

It was the third win in in four fights for Koreshkov, whose only losses in his past 11 fights have come to Douglas Lima.
