The lineup for Bellator’s 200th event is set.

Officials released the full card on Monday for the May 25 show that will air live from the SSE Arena in London and air on tape delay in North America.

Bellator 200 is headlined by a pair of star-studded bouts as Mirko Cro Cop (36-11-2) seeks to avenge a 7 1/2-year-old loss to Roy Nelson (23-15), while middleweight champion Rafael Carvalho (15-1) looks for his fourth consecutive title defense when he faces Gegard Mousasi (43-6-2), who has won six straight bouts.

It has not yet been officially announced which bout will serve as the main event.

Also on the main card, welterweight Michael Page (12-0) will try to remain undefeated as he fights one-time lightweight title challenger David Rickels (19-4, 2 NC), British reality TV star Aaron Chalmers (3-0) meets Ash Griffiths (4-5) in a 163-pound catchweight bout, and former Bellator light heavyweight champion Phil Davis (18-4) fights England’s own Linton Vassell (18-6).

The preliminary portion of the card sees undefeated flyweight Anastasia Yankova (5-0) make her return to competition after a year-long layoff against Kate Jackson (9-3-1). Also, BAMMA stars Mike Shipman (11-1) Daniel Crawford (10-1), and Ryan Scope (10-1) will be in action.
