Bellator MMA’s final regular Friday event of the season is set and will be headlined by a light heavyweight title fight.

Champion Emanuel Newton (24-7 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) will defend his title against Linton Vassell (14-3 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) in the main event of Bellator 130. Promotion officials today announced the headliner and the rest of the card.

In addition to that fight in the main event, Bellator 130 will feature a heavyweight bout between Bobby Lashley (11-2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) and Karl Etherington (9-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) in the co-main event; the promotional debuts of women’s featherweights Annalisa Bucci (7-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) vs. Marloes Coenen (21-6 MMA, 0-0 BMMA); and the return of Bellator lightweight tournament champion Dave Jansen (19-2 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) against two-time tourney champ Rick Hawn (18-3 MMA, 10-3 BMMA), a booking first reported earlier this month by MMAjunkie.

Bellator 130 takes place Oct. 24 at Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Kan. The event’s main card airs live on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com.

Newton returns relatively quickly after a spinning backfist knockout of Joey Beltran to defend his title earlier this month at Bellator 123. He won the undisputed belt against Attila Vegh in March after a second win over Muhammed Lawal to win the interim belt. He now has six straight wins.

Vassell, from England, made his Bellator debut this past November with a unanimous decision win over Matt Jones. In 2014, though, the 31-year-old has two submission wins over Trevor Carlson and Virgil Zwicker.

The preliminary card is set to feature eight bouts, including heavyweights Derek Bohi (4-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) vs. Alex Huddleston (4-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA); Aaron Derrow (13-8 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) vs. Nate Jolly (13-6 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) at lightweight; Anthony Dizy (5-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) vs. Darrion Caldwell (5-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) at featherweight; and middleweights Gary Tapusoa (8-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and Sam Oropeza (11-2 MMA, 3-1 BMMA).

Plus, Gzim Selmani (4-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) meets Daniel Gallemore (3-2 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) in a heavyweight bout; Marcio Navarro (12-11 MMA, 1-2 BMMA) vs. Cody Carrillo (8-9 MMA, 0-3 BMMA) at lightweight; featherweights Ricky Musgrave (12-4 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) and Joe Wilk (18-9 MMA, 0-0 BMMA); and a lightweight bout between Davi Ramos (4-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and David Rickels (15-3 MMA, 9-3 BMMA).
