The promotion recently announced the bouts. Bellator Champions Series London takes place OVO Wembley in London and is headlined by a middleweight title rematch between Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards. The event will air in its entirety on Max. McCourt vs. Collins is slated to be the evening’s co-main event.
McCourt has been victorious in seven of her nine Bellator appearances. Most recently, the Northern Ireland native defeated former UFC title challenger Sara McMann via first-round TKO at Bellator 300 this past October.
Collins is undefeated in five professional outings, including triumphs over Sinead Kavanagh and Pam Sorenson under the Bellator banner. Collins was scheduled to meet Olena Kolesnyk at Bellator Dublin on June 22 before her opponent withdrew from the bout due to injury.
Diakiese will make his Bellator debut on the heels of an 8-7 stint in the UFC. In his last outing, “Bonecrusher” snapped a two-fight skid with a split-decision triumph over Kaue Fernandes at UFC Fight Night 231 on Nov. 4.
England’s Wilde saw a six-bout unbeaten streak come to an end at Bellator Belfast in March, when he suffered a first-round KO defeat at the hands of Manoel Sousa.
