David Rickels vs. Bomba Vasconcelos booked for Bellator 210

David Rickels is set to be on top of the Bellator record books once again.

On Friday, the promotion announced that Rickels will take on Bomba Vasconcelos in a welterweight bout at Bellator 210 on Nov. 30 from WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla. The event will air on Paramount and stream on DAZN.

The bout will mark the 21st of Rickels’ Bellator tenure, which will become the most in the promotion’s history, breaking a tie with Patricky Freieir, who had his 20th Bellator bout last month.

Rickels (19-5 MMA, 13-5 BMMA), 29, will look to rebound from a second-round TKO loss to Michael Paige in May at Bellator 200. Prior to the lost, Rickels had won back-to-back fights.

Vasconcelos (10-5 MMA, 3-1 BMMA), 32, will look to make it two wins in a row after submitting Ivan Castillo earlier this year at Bellator 192. The Brazilian has won three of his last four fights and seven of his previous nine.

The Bellator 210 lineup now includes:

  • Melvin Manhoef vs. Chidi Njokuani
  • Juan Archuleta vs. Jeremy Spoon
  • David Rickels vs. Bomba Vasconcelos
