Johnny Eblen-Fabian Edwards Rematch Tops Bellator London Card on Sept. 14

A middleweight championship rematch between Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards will serve as the main event for Bellator Champions Series London on Sept. 14.

The promotion announced the pairing on Tuesday. Bellator Champions Series London takes place at the OVO Arena Wembley and will mark the organization’s eighth trip to England’s capital city.

Eblen initially defended his title against Edwards at Bellator 299 this past September, winning via third-round knockout. The American Top Team standout has competed once since then, taking a hard-fought split decision over Impa Kasanganay at a PFL vs. Bellator event on Feb. 24. Eblen owns a 15-0 career mark that includes two successful title defenses under the Bellator banner.

Edwards rebounded from the loss to Eblen by taking a unanimous verdict against Aaron Jeffery at Bellator Champions Series Belfast on March 22. The younger brother of UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards has won four of his last five Bellator appearances.
