Bellator 155: "Carvalho vs. Manhoef" comes to CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho, this Friday night (Fri., May 20, 2016), featuring a main event between newly-minted Middleweight champion Rafael Carvalho -- who will make his first title defense -- against Dutch fighting veteran Melvin Manhoef.
Carvalho became the man to beat in Oct. 2015 with a stunning liver kick in the second round of his fight with Brandon Halsey, who had been forced to vacate the title because of missing a weight cut (he had never lost a fight until then). Meanwhile, less than one month later at Bellator 146, Manhoef staked his claim at a title shot with a stellar performance against Hisaki Kato.
