Two titles will be on the line Oct. 23, as former middleweight champion Brandon Halsey will vie for Bellator's vacant 185-pound strap against streaking Brazilian Rafael Carvalho in Bellator 144's co-headlining bout.
Bellator officials announced the match-up on Monday. Eduardo Dantas looks to recapture his bantamweight title against Marcos Galvao in the night's main event.
The undefeated Halsey (9-0) was stripped of his Bellator middleweight title after missing weight by over three pounds in his most recent bout, which he won via fourth-round TKO against Kendall Grove.
