Background

Salter entered his title shot riding a three-fight winning streak with victories over Chidi Njokuani, Andrew Kapel and Mousasi’s teammate Costello van Steenis. He entered the title bout winning six of his eight Bellator victories via submission.
Former Bellator welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov returned to the promotion to face Sabah Homasi in a welterweight bout. It was Koreshkov's first appearance with the promotion since October 2019.
Two ranked bantamweights, the #3 ranked Magomed Magomedov and #4 ranked Raufeon Stots, were scheduled to compete at Bellator 263. On July 19, it was announced that the bout was scratched from the event and was rescheduled for this event.
