Former Bellator light heavyweight champion Phil Davis is set to return to the cage.

“Mr. Wonderful” meets Karl Albrektsson in the co-main event of Bellator 231 which takes place October 25 in the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The fight was confirmed by a Bellator official.

It will be his first outing since a second win over Liam McGeary at Bellator 220 in April. In that fight, he notably broke the former champion’s jaw which resulted in the TKO win.

He will now look to make it two wins in a row in his attempts to regain the light heavyweight title back. The former UFC star won the belt in 2016 but would lose it in a split decision to current champion Ryan Bader in 2017. Since then, he has gone 3-1 in Bellator competition. A win against Albrektsson could assure him of the next shot at Bader’s 205-pound belt.

As for Albrektsson, it will be his Bellator debut. He was signed by the promotion in June with his last outing being a unanimous decision win against Christiano Frohlich at Rizin 15.

Bellator 231 will be headlined by a heavyweight bout between Frank Mir and Roy Nelson. The contest will notably be a rematch of their UFC 130 contest back in May 2011. Nelson won that via unananimous decision.

What do you think of the fight?

A heavyweight rematch between two of the sport’s legends will headline Bellator 231. The show goes down from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut on Friday, October 25. The show is going down 24 hours before Bellator 232 from the same venue, which is headlined by a Bellator Welterweight Grand Prix finale.

Headlining Bellator 231, however, will be Frank Mir and Roy Nelson running things back. MMA Fighting confirmed the matchup, which was initially reported by MMA Junkie. Their first meeting took place back in 2011 under the UFC banner. There, Nelson took home a unanimous decision victory. Now, “Big Country” finds himself on a three-fight losing streak under the Viacom-owned promotion’s banner.

He hasn’t picked up a victory since his promotional debut in September of 2017 when he bested Javy Ayala via unanimous decision. He’ll take on Mir, who is on a four-fight losing streak, including his two bouts with Bellator since signing with the promotion last year.

The following night at Bellator 232, the Bellator Welterweight Grand Prix finale and rematch between Rory MacDonald and Douglas Lima will take place.

What do you think about Mir and Nelson’s rematch headlining Bellator 231? Who are you picking to win the rematch?
