The Bellator 156 fight card is taking shape.
Bellator MMA announced in a press release Tuesday that Chidi Njokuani will face former Bellator welterweight champ Douglas Lima in the co-main event of the June 17 fight card in Fresno, Calif.
Njokuani (14-4, one no-contest) has not lost since March 2013, posting a 5-0 record with one no-contest during that stretch. Most recently, he defeated Ricky Rainey via unanimous decision in his Bellator debut at Bellator 146.
Lima (26-6) is coming off his first lost since 2012. The former 170-pound champ lost a unanimous decision to Andrey Koreshkov at Bellator 140, dropping his title and snapping a five-fight winning streak – all via knockout – in the process.
