A middleweight bout between Andre Fialho and Brennan Ward is the latest addition to October’s Bellator 207 lineup.

MMAjunkie verified the booking between Fialho (9-1 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) and Ward (14-6 MMA, 9-6 BMMA) with a Bellator official following an initial report from Sherdog.com.

Bellator 207 takes place Oct. 12 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The main card will air and stream live on Paramount and DAZN, respectively, with prelims on MMAjunkie. The card is headlined by a heavyweight grand prix semifinal bout between Matt Mitrione and light heavyweight champion Ryan Bader.

Fialho, 24, will end a 15-month layoff when he returns to action at Bellator 207. The fighter from Portugal, who trains out of American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, Calif., has earned eight of his nine career wins by stoppage and is coming off a split-decision triumph over A.J. Matthews at Bellator 181 in July.

Looking to play spoiler to Fialho’s comeback fight is Ward, 30, who in 20 professional fights has seen the judges’ scorecards just once. The American is in the midst of a rough patch, with three of his past four fights being stoppage losses. Nevertheless, his nine wins via finish in Bellator competition are third most in company history.

The latest Bellator 207 lineup includes:

Matt Mitrione vs. Ryan Bader – heavyweight grand prix semifinal Sergei Kharitonov vs. Roy Nelson Andre Fialho vs. Brennan Ward Mike Kimbel vs. Alex Potts Kemran Lachinov vs. Sean Lally
