A welterweight bout between Dan Hornbuckle and Brad Blackburn has been added to the August 19 Bellator 25 card in Chicago, which is shaping up as a very strong night of fights for the second show of the upstart promotion’s third season.
Hornbuckle was generally recognized as the favorite to win Bellator’s Season 2 welterweight tournament, but he was upset in the final against Ben Askren. He’ll fight for the first time since that loss when he takes on Blackburn, a UFC veteran with a 3-2 record inside the Octagon and a 15-11 record overall.
