Erick Silva is getting thrown right into the fire.
Just days after it was reported that the former UFC fighter had signed with Bellator, Silva has been matched up with fellow UFC import Lorenz Larkin. Silva is stepping in for an injured Yaroslav Amosov to fight Larkin in what will be a Bellator Welterweight World Grand Prix alternate bout at Bellator 207 on Oct. 12 at the Mohegun Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
