Nate Andrews will finally make his Bellator debut when he meets a grizzly veteran. Andrews (16-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) is set to face Saad Awad (23-13-1 MMA, 11-10-1 BMMA) on May 21 at Bellator 259 from Mohegan Sun Arena. The fight will take place on the preliminary card. Two people with knowledge of the matchup informed MMA Junkie of the booking Wednesday but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Andrews, a former CES lightweight champion, signed with PFL after amassing an impressive nine-fight winning streak, all by finish. He went 1-2 under the PFL banner, failing to reach the lightweight tournament semifinals when he lost to Chris Wade for the second time
