Koreshkov vs Larkin | Bellator MMA
Bellator 229 “Koreshkov vs. Larkin” takes place Friday, October 4, 2019 at Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California. The show will simulcast live on DAZN and Paramount Network at 9 p.m. ET, with preliminary bouts to air at a time to be determined via DAZN, Bellator.com and the Bellator mobile app.
As you’d probably expect from the title, “Spartan” Andrey Koreshkov (22-3) and “Da Monsoon” Lorenz Larkin (20-7, 1 NC) will headline the Temecula card. Koreshkov recently returned to his winning ways in the exact same venue at Bellator 219 in a three round decision over late replacement Michael Jasper.
Of course the reason Jasper was a replacement is because Koreshkov was supposed to fight Larkin but an injury early in Larkin’s training camp proved insurmountable and forced him to withdraw. One can only hope he’ll take a more cautious approach this time around as both men are given a second chance to headline.
At this early date no other bouts have been announced for the card.
