Rafael Carvalho has a date in mind for his next fight inside the Bellator cage.
The middleweight champion successfully defended his Bellator belt twice in 2017, knocking out Melvin Manhoef and Alessio Sakara in April and December, respectively, and is now hoping to be back in action around July.
After seeing John Salter as a potential title contender, especially after his 5-0 run in Bellator, Carvalho has decided to sit and wait for Mousasi.
