A lightweight bout between Mandel Nallo and Killys Mota is the latest addition to Bellator 231.
MMA Junkie on Friday confirmed the matchup between Nallo (7-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) and Mota (11-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) with a Bellator official.
Bellator 231 takes place Oct. 25 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
Nallo, nicknamed “Rat Garbage,” hasn’t fought since scoring a highlight-reel knockout of Carrington Banks at Bellator 207 in October 2018. He was scheduled to fight earlier this year, but was forced out due to injury.
Mota, meanwhile, is a two-fight LFA veteran who will make his Bellator debut on the card.
Also set for the Bellator 231 prelims is a welterweight fight between Jon Manley (12-6 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) and Thiago Oliveira (16-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).
