The promotion announced the pairing on Tuesday. Bellator Champions
Series London takes place at the OVO Arena Wembley and will mark
the organization’s eighth trip to England’s capital city.
Eblen initially defended his title against Edwards at Bellator 299
this past September, winning via third-round knockout. The
American Top Team standout has competed once since then, taking
a hard-fought split decision over Impa
Kasanganay at a PFL vs. Bellator event on Feb. 24. Eblen owns a
15-0 career mark that includes two successful title defenses under
the Bellator banner.
Edwards rebounded from the loss to Eblen by taking a unanimous
verdict against Aaron
Jeffery at Bellator Champions Series Belfast on March 22. The
younger brother of UFC welterweight champion Leon
Edwards has won four of his last five Bellator appearances.
