A Bellator welterweight showdown between the retiring Paul Daley and rising contender Andrey Koreshkov is in the works for Bellator London.

News of the booking was reported by MMA journalist Michael Martin.

Daley has recently said in an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour that he intends to retire after one more fight in the Bellator cage. He most recently lost to Jason Jackson at Bellator 260 after winning three in a row.

The Bellator London card is scheduled to take place at The SSE Arena on May 13.

Koreshkov is just days removed from his first-round knockout over Chance Rencountre at Bellator 274. He landed a heavy spinning back kick before finishing the fight with a flurry of ground-and-pound punches.

Koreshkov hasn’t lost since his controversial split decision defeat to Lorenz Larkin at Bellator 229.

Daley looked to be back in the welterweight title picture in Bellator after back-to-back wins over Saad Awad and Erick Silva in 2019. He followed it up with an impressive knockout over Sabah Homasi before the loss to Jackson.

Daley made his Bellator debut back in 2015 at Bellator 134, earning a unanimous decision win over Andre Santos. This was after he received a lifetime ban from the UFC for sucker-punching Josh Koscheck at UFC 113.

The Bellator London card will be headlined by a welterweight title fight between the champion Yaroslav Amosov against Michael Venom Page. If Koreshkov can get past Daley, he may move one step closer to a potential title shot in 2022.

Chance Rencountre

Chance Rencountre had to be hospitalized due to a spinning kick to his body after his Bellator debut against Andrey Koreshkov.

The Rencountre and Koreshkov bout was the co-main of the card, but it ended quickly as it only took Koreshkov 38 seconds to end the fight. He landed a spinning kick to the right side of Recountre’s body and sent him to the canvas.

According to his managers Instagram, Rencountre broke five of his ribs and also punctured his lung from that spinning kick he took. He requires surgery as well, but he is currently in high spirits and excited to be able to fight again in the future. According to MMA Junkie, Recountre was able to get up and walk out of the arena under his own strength.

Going into Bellator 274, Chance Rencountre had a record of 16-4 before being beat by Andrey Koreshkov.

Koreshkov now has a record of 25-4 and has won three fights in a row. He has finished two of those three fights, last night’s via TKO and a win over Adriano Rodrigues de Oliveira via armor at AMC- Fight Nights: Sochi.

Rencountre had a brief stint with the UFC as well a few years ago. he finished his UFC career with a record of 2-2. He had wins over Kyle Stewart and Ismail Naurdiev in 2019. He also went up against Belal Muhammad in a bout he ultimately lost via unanimous decision.

This is also Rencountre’s second run with Bellator, as he was with them before his UFC career. In three fights with Bellator he went 2-1, winning one fight via decision and the other via decision. A speedy recovery is hopeful for Rencountree, as he looks to build on a couple wins in his second appearance with Bellator.
