Former Bellator middleweight champion Rafael Carvalho will look to get back in the win column against Chidi Njokuani at Bellator 224.
According to MMA Fighting, the bout is currently being targeted for the event which is set to take place at the WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma, on July 12.
Carvalho was the reigning 185-pound king at Bellator from 2015 to 2018 until he was outclassed by Gegard Mousasi last May.
The Brazilian would lose two in a row for the first time in his career when he went on to lose a split decision to former UFC champion Lyoto Machida in December.
His opponent in Njokuani is a Bellator veteran of four years. After winning his first four bouts with the promotion, the 30-year-old is 1-2 in his last three fights. His most recent setback was a submission defeat to John Salter at Bellator 210 in November.
Bellator 224 will be headlined by a women’s featherweight title fight as current champion Julia Budd defends her crown against the 5-0 Olga Rubin.

The post Highlights: Gegard Mousasi Stops Rafael Carvalho To Win Bellator Title appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Former UFC, Pride, and Strikeforce fighter Gegard Mousasi won the Bellator middleweight belt after destroying Rafael Carvalho in the first round of their headlining fight at Bellator 200 from The SSE Arena in London on Friday.
Mousasi got the champion down quickly into the first round, and although Carvalho found his way to his feet, he was promptly taken down again and eventually mounted by the challenger. Mousasi poured on the ground-and-pound as the champion gave Mousasi his back, and after a few seconds, it became apparent that the fight was over.
Now the first fighter to hold titles in both Strikeforce and Bellator, Mousasi called out fellow Bellator champion Rory MacDonald in his post-fight speech. It’s an awesome fight that would certainly bring a ton of eyeballs to Bellator.

Gegard Mousasi vs. Rafael Carvalho is in the books at Bellator 200.
Although this bout was not the original main event, it turned into an exciting fight that was headliner worthy.
Bellator 200 took place on Friday, May 25, 2018, at the SSE Arena, Wembley in London, England and due to time zone differences, was taped earlier in the day but aired live on the Paramount Network tonight.
Mousasi was able to defeat Carvalho to win the middleweight title when he was able to score a TKO victory in just 3:25 of the very first round. As a result, this fight capped off a night that featured some action-packed fights that entertained those fans who decided to attend the show.
Mousasi’s contract with the UFC ran out after his controversial UFC 208 win over Chris Weidman. This is when he decided to test out the free agent market and signed with the Viacom-owned promotion.
A fun fact about his career is that Mousasi was Bellator MMA President Scott Coker’s light heavyweight champion for a while under the Strikeforce banner.
Mousasi is currently riding an impressive six fight win streak with victories of the likes of Weidman, Vitor Belfort, Uriah Hall, and Thiago Santos in the UFC as well as winning his promotional debut with Bellator by picking up a win over Alexander Shlemenko by decision at Bellator 185.
On the flip side, Carvalho’s winning streak and reign as the top guy in Bellator’s middleweight division has come to a close as a result of this loss.
He entered this fight on a fourteen fight win streak with recent wins over the likes of Melvin Manhoef twice and Alessio Sakara. He won the title from Brandon Halsey back in October of 2015.
