Lorenz Larkin has received his second new opponent at Bellator 280, as Kyle Stewart will step in for Anthony Adams against the middleweight known as “Monsoon.”

Larkin was initially scheduled to face Khalid Murtazliev at Bellator 280 before Murtazliev withdrew from the card for undisclosed reasons. Promotion officials confirmed the new booking following an initial report from EuroSport.

Bellator 280 takes place on May 6 at Accor Arena in Paris and is headlined by a heavyweight title rematch between Ryan Bader and Cheick Kongo. Additionally, Charlie Leary will replace Saul Rogers and face Soren Bak in a 160-pound catchweight affair.

Stewart exited the UFC after back-to-back losses against Chance Rencountre and Erik. He has gone 4-2 since then, notably taking a unanimous verdict over fellow Octagon veteran Zak Ottow at XMMA 4 on April 2.

Larkin will take a five-bout promotional winning streak into the matchup with Stewart. The former Strikeforce and UFC talent returned following a year-and-a-half hiatus at Bellator 258 last May, when he defeated ex-champ Rafael Carvalho via split decision.
