The fight card for the next Bellator tent pole continues to fill out and now includes a rematch that's been attempted previously, but never materialized: Bellator heavyweight Bobby Lashley is set to square off against PRIDE veteran James Thompson. Bellator made the news official on Friday during the Bellator 143 broadcast on Spike TV.
Lashley and Thompson faced off in 2012 in India's Super Fight League where Lashley lost via unanimous decision. The pair were set to face off at Bellator 134 in February of 2015, but Lashley withdrew from the contest due to injury.
