Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards have a new date for their Bellator championship rematch.

The two middleweights, who were originally scheduled to fight in the main event of Bellator Champions Series: London last week, have been booked to fight at the PFL: Battle of the Giants pay-per-view event, which is headlined by Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira. The card is set to go down Oct. 19 at The Mayadeen in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and it will be available on ESPN+.

PFL announced the re-scheduling of the bout Tuesday.

Eblen (15-0) and Edwards (13-3) fought back in September 2023. Eblen successfully defended his title by knocking out Edwards in the third round.

Since their first meeting, Eblen survived a knockdown to edge out Impa Kasanganay in February in the PFL vs. Bellator: Champions co-main event. Edwards rebounded from his knockout loss to Eblen with a unanimous decision win over Aaron Jeffery in their title eliminator at Bellator Champions Series: Belfast this past March.
