Gegard Mousasi hopes to prolong his second reign as the Bellator middleweight champion when he makes his second title defence against the undefeated Austin Vanderford.
Vanderford sealed his world title shot after beating Fabian Edwards by unaminous decision at Bellator 259 and now looks to make it six wins out of six since joining Bellator.
Mousasi, on the other hand, comes into this fight on the back of a third-round TKO victory with punches against John Salter at Bellator 264.
