Former champ Brandon Halsey meets John Salter at Bellator 156

"The Bull" is back in action.

Brandon Halsey will return to the cage against UFC veteran John Salter at Bellator 156 on June 17 in Fresno, Calif., the promotion announced Tuesday.

Halsey (9-1) had a rough 2015. He was stripped of the Bellator middleweight title when he missed weight before a fight with Kendall Grove in May of last year and then fell via first-round TKO (body kick) to Rafael Carvalho in a bout for the vacant title last October. Halsey, 29, an excellent athlete and very solid talent, had been undefeated up until that point.
