**FULL PHOTOS HERE**

**LOS ANGELES** – The full slate of bouts for Bellator’s doubleheader return to Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. ar Feabhra. 15 and Feb. 16 has been completed with two stacked five-fight main cards and exciting preliminary matchups.

The main event of Friday’s card on Paramount Network, and simulcast on DAZN, will feature a heavyweight headliner, where former Bellator Grand Prix Semifinalist **Matt Mitrione** (13-6) faces Russian knockout artist **Sergei Kharitonov** (29-7, 1 NC). Rounding out the stacked main card will see undefeated **Logan Storley** (9-0) meet SBG Dublin’s **Ion Pascu** (18-9) ag welterweight, former Bellator bantamweight champ **Eduardo Dantas** (20-6) return from injury to meet Hawaii’s **Toby Misech** (12-6) at 135-pounds, and the electric **Mike Kimbel** (2-0) making his main card debut against Rhode Island’s John Douma (3-1). The opener of *Bellator 215* will be the promotional debut of **Austin Vanderford** (6-0), who looks to remain undefeated against **Cody Jones** (6-2), a winner of four consecutive fights.

The prelims for *Bellator 215: Mitrione vs. Kharitonov* will be highlighted by a women’s featherweight contest featuring **Amber Leibrock** (3-2) aghaidh **Amanda Bell** (5-5), as well as top heavyweight prospect **Steve Mowry** (5-0) ag cur ar **Darion Abbey** (Tús Pro).

A mere 24-hours later, *Bellator 216* will take place exclusively on DAZN and will be headlined by one of the most intense grudge matches in MMA history. Ar an Satharn, Feabhra. 16, undefeated **Michael "Venom" Page** (13-0) will enter the Bellator cage against 58-fight professional **Paul "Semtex" Daley** (40-16-2) in a first-round fight of Bellator’s Welterweight World Grand Prix. The co-main event is a rematch between two heavyweights who undoubtedly will go down in the sport’s history books, nuair **Mirko Cro Cop** (37-11-2, 1 NC) makes his Bellator debut against **Roy “Big Country” Nelson** (23-16).

Chomh maith leis sin, a No. 1 contender’s bout to determine who will face newly crowned heavyweight kingpin Ryan Bader will pit **Cheick Kongo** (29-10-2) aghaidh undefeated, longtime former Bellator heavyweight champion **Vitaly Minakov** (21-0). An intriguing welterweight encounter between **Yaroslav Amosov** (20-0) and the always-excitingErick Silva (20-9, 1 NC) is also official, as is the professional debut of multi-time taekwondo champion **Valerie Loureda,** when she meets Oklahoma’s **Colby Fletcher** (1-2) in the main card opener.

As if that wasn’t enough top-flight action, **Tyrell Fortune** (5-0), one of Bellator’s top homegrown prospects returns to the Bellator cage against **Ryan Pokryfky** (6-5) in the featured preliminary bout of *Bellator 216: MVP vs. Daley.*

*Bellator: Mitrione vs. Kharitonov* will be broadcast Friday, Feabhra 15 on Paramount Network at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT and will stream LIVE on DAZN. *Bellator: MVP vs. Daley* will stream exclusively on DAZN on Saturday, Feabhra 16 ag 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
