Bellator president Scott Coker announced the booking on Tuesday
evening. Bellator 290 takes place at the Forum in Inglewood,
Calif., on Feb. 4 and is headlined by a heavyweight title tilt
pitting Ryan Bader
against Fedor
Emelianenko. The evening’s main card will air on CBS at 9 p.m.
ET/6 p.m. PT.
Homasi went 2-0 under the Bellator banner in 2022. After scoring a
first-round submission of Jaleel
Willis at Bellator 273 on Jan. 29, “The Sleek Sheik” knocked
out Maycon
Mendonca in 58 seconds at Bellator 282 on June 24. The American
Top Team product is 5-2 in the California-based promotion, with
losses to Paul Daley and
Andrey
Koreshkov.
After more than four years away from the cage, Ward returned to
active competition at Bellator 274, where he defeated Brandon
Bell via second-round TKO. He followed that performance with a
second-round stoppage of Kassius
Kayne at Bellator 282. The Waterford, Conn., native has been
with Bellator since 2013, compiling a 12-6 mark within the
organization.
