King Mo vs Phil Davis, Josh Thomson vs Michael Chandler set for Bellator 154 in San Jose

Light heavyweight tournament winner Phil Davis will face Muhammad "King Mo" Lawal in the main event of Bellator 154 on May 14, 2016, airing live on SPIKE TV from San Jose, Calif.

In the co-main event, former UFCer Josh Thomson will battle recently re-signed former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler.

The announcement was made during the Bellator 149 broadcast prior to the Melvin Guillard vs. Derek Campos scrap.

Davis, 15-3 (1), was supposed to fight Lawal, 19-4 (1), in the finals of Bellator's Dynamite 1 one-night tournament back in September, but the "King" bowed out with a hip injury after winning his fight.
