Anatoly Tokov will face Gerald Harris at middleweight, while Vladimir Tokov will make his promotional debut against Ryan Walker at bantamweight. Sherdog.com confirmed the bookings with a promotion official following an initial report from MMAFighting.com on Wednesday.
Bellator 218 takes place on March 22 in Thackerville, Okla., on March 22 and is headlined by a featherweight tilt pitting Emmanuel Sanchez against Georgi Karakhanyan. The main card, which will include Anatoly Tokov vs. Harris, airs at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT on Paramount Network and DAZN.
Anatoly Tokov is riding a three-fight winning streak in Bellator, including a decision victory against Alexander Shlemenko in his most recent outing this past October. He owns a 27-2 career mark.
Harris, meanwhile, is coming off a majority draw against Hracho Darpinyan at Bellator 210 on Nov. 30. “Hurricane” lost to Yarsoslav Amosov and Rafael Lovato Jr. in his first two appearances with the California-based promotion.
Vladimir Tokov is 3-0 as a professional but hasn’t competed since July 2017. Walker lost to Steve Kozola via first-round TKO in his promotional debut at Bellator 202 last July to fall to 7-4 overall.
