Bellator Summer Series Featherweight Tournament semi-finalist Ronnie ‘Kid Ninja’ Man (20-3-1) is reportedly set to face Season Four Featherweight Tournament semi-finalst, ‘The Tooth Fairy’ Kenny Foster (9-3) as part of the yet-to-be-announced Bellator 53 event.

News of the matchup was confirmed by MMAWeekly.com on Friday, who noted that fight agreements had been issued to both fighters.

Bellator 53 is expected to take place in October but no exact date or venue has surfaced at this time. Promotion officials are expected to release news of the event in the coming weeks.

Mann is coming off a loss to Summer Series tournament winner Pat Curran last month at Bellator 47. Curran was awarded a unanimous decision in the match, ending Mann’s four fight win streak. Mann, a member of Team Tompkins, will return to the cage after the emotional loss of trainer Shawn Tompkins earlier this month.

Foster had been scheduled to face Andy Main at Bellator 49 next month, but an injury to Main forced him off the September 10 card. Foster is 2-1 in his last three, and is coming off a third round submission loss last April to Daniel Straus as part of the Season Four Featherweight Tournament.
