Bellator champion Rafael Carvalho has ideas for new contract before possible fight with Gegard Mousasi

Bellator middleweight champion Rafael Carvalho hasn’t fought in a while, and that’s one of the things he wants to change in 2018.

Carvalho will put the 185-pound championship on the line against Alessio Sakara in the main event of Bellator 190 in Florence, Italy, on Dec. 9. The Brazilian striker only has two fights left on his deal with the promotion, and wants to sit down and discuss changes in his contract before a possible clash with Gegard Mousasi.

"I don’t know what their plans are, but I want to stay more active,” Carvalho told MMA Fighting.
