Gegard Mousasi is set to defend his Bellator middleweight title against the division’s #1 ranked contender John Salter this August.
MMA Junkie first reported the fight announcement. Bellator 264 is expected to take place at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut on August 13th.
Mousasi (47-7-2) recaptured the Bellator middleweight belt against Douglas Lima last October at Bellator 250. ‘The Dreamcatcher’ lost his title against Rafael Lovato Jr. after successfully defending it twice against Rory MacDonald and Rafael Carvalho. Since leaving the UFC in 2017 for Bellator, Mousasi has won five fights in the promotion and only lost once.
