Matt Mitrione has been medically cleared by doctors and his heavyweight fight at Bellator 158 in two weeks against Oli Thompson is now official.
The fight booking was made official by Bellator in a press release on Friday.
Bellator 158 will come from the O2 Arena in London, England on July 16 and will be headlined by a welterweight bout as former Bellator champion Douglas Lima returns to the Bellator cage for the first time since losing the title last year as he will face Paul Daley.
Mitrione (10-5) won his Bellator debut last week when he defeated Carl Seumanutafa by knockout in the opening round. The victory snapped a two fight losing streak and it was his first win since the end of 2014. Thompson (17-8) is currently on a five fight winning streak and this will be his Bellator debut. His most recent win came in December as he defeated Fernando Rodrigues Jr. by TKO in the first round.
