The Bellator 263 lineup continues to fill out as two more notable contenders have been added. Featherweights Mads Burnell and Emmanuel Sanchez will square off at the July 31 event, which does not currently have a publicly announced location or venue, though Los Angeles is currently pegged as the frontrunner city. Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Burnell (15-3 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) has rattled off six-straight wins following his UFC release in mid-2018, which included capturing the Cage Warriors featherweight title in June 2019
