Gallery Logan Storley def. Joaquim Buckley at Bellator 197: Best photos view 9 images

The lineup for Bellator’s second of back-to-back cards in Connecticut next month continues to grow with the addition of a new welterweight fight.

Logan Storley (9-0 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) will put his unblemished record on the line against Ion Pascu (18-9 MMA, 0-2 BMMA) at Bellator 216, a promotion official today told MMAjunkie. The fight is expected to take place on the preliminary card.

Bellator 216 takes place Feb. 16 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The card streams on DAZN. Bellator 215 takes place the night before at the same venue.

Storley stayed perfect this past August with a second-round TKO win over A.J. Matthews at Bellator 204. Matthews was Storley’s most experienced opponent to date in his pro career. Storley came to Bellator in 2017 after going 5-0 under the RFA and LFA banners.

Storley was a four-time All-American wrestler at the University of Minnesota. He made a quick first impression in his promotional debut at Bellator 181 in 2017 with a first-round TKO win over Kemmyelle Haley. He followed that up with decisions over Matt Secor and Joaquin Buckley before getting back to his finishing ways against Matthews.

Pascu has dropped two of his past three fights, which happened to be his only two Bellator fights so far. At Bellator 196 in April 2018, he lost a decision to wrestling standout Ed Ruth. After a win over Alex Lohore at BAMMA 35, he dropped a decision to Lorenz Larkin this past October at Bellator 207.

With the addition, Bellator 216 now includes:

Michael Page vs. Paul Daley – welterweight tournament quarterfinal

Cheick Kongo vs. Vitaly Minakov

Mirko Cro Cop vs. Roy Nelson

Yaroslav Amosov vs. Erick Silva

Ion Pascu vs. Logan Storley
