Andrey Koreshkov vs. Fernando Gonzalez among Bellator 174 additions

Next month’s Bellator 174 fight card has a slew of new additions, including a pair of main-card bouts.

They include former welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov (19-2 MMA, 10-2 BMMA) vs. Fernando Gonzalez (25-14 MMA, 5-1 BMMA) and middleweights Kendall Grove (23-16 MMA, 4-3 BMMA) vs. Chris Honeycutt (9-1 MMA, 5-1 BMMA).

Bellator 174 takes place March 3 at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla. It airs on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Koreshkov was recently riding a six-fight winning streak, which included a title win over Douglas Lima and a title defense over Benson Henderson. However, the 26-year-old Russian lost the belt to Douglas Lima in his most recent appearance. He looks to regroup against Gonzalez, a 33-year-old WEC/KOTC/Strikeforce vet who had won five straight Bellator fights – with victories over vets Karl Amoussou, Karo Parisyan and Marius Zaromskis – before a recent split-decision defeat to highly touted Michael Page.

Grove, meanwhile, eventually caught on with Bellator after a long UFC stint that included winning “The Ultimate Fighter 3” in 2006. The 34-year-old Hawaiian was on a 3-1 Bellator run, which included an unsuccessful shot against then-champ Brandon Halsey (who missed weight), before a recent TKO loss Alexander Shlemenko. He now meets Honeycutt, a 28-year-old who took up MMA after he was a two-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler. He’s rebounded from his first career loss (to Paul Bradley at Bellator 148) with a current three-fight winning streak.

The latest Bellator 174 card now includes:
