Bellator stars Fabian Edwards and Charlie Ward will finally do battle in Milan on October 29 when the pair co-headline the promotion's return to Italy, Mirror Fighting understands.
The Brit recently returned to winning ways after a two-fight skid with a vicious knockout of former UFC light-heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida, while Ward has won his last three. And after the pair had agreed to fight back in November, there is a grudge held by Edwards due to the Irishman pulling out with an injury.
Both men were back in action after lengthy layoffs at the promotion's May event in London at the OVO Arena Wembley. Ward picked up an unanimous decision victory over Brazilian Alan Carlos, while Edwards famously stopped Machida in an explosive finish.
