Former Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima will return to action this June, taking on Chidi Njokuani in the co-main event of Bellator 156.

The card takes place June 17 from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. In the headline role, bantamweight champion Marcos Galvao defends his title against Eduardo Dantas.

Lima (26-6) is 8-2 over 10 Bellator appearances, but will be fighting for the first time since losing the belt to Andrey Koreshkov last year.

Njoukani (14-4) finds himself on a six-fight win streak dating back to 2013, including a decision win over Ricky Rainey.
