Gegard Mousasi will face John Salter in the Bellator 264 main event on Aug. 13 in his next middleweight title defense, the promotion announced Friday.

Mousasi defeated then-welterweight champion Douglas Lima last October to capture the vacant 185-pound belt. He previously held the title from May 2018 to June 2019. The 35-year-old is riding a two-fight winning streak and has only lost once since 2015.

Salter has won three straight bouts, most recently submitting Andrew Kapel last August. The No. 1-ranked middleweight also holds notable victories over Costello van Steenis and Chidi Njokuani, and his lone loss in Bellator came against former champ Rafael Lovato Jr. - who beat Mousasi for the title - in 2018.

Mousasi holds a 5-1 record in Bellator, while Salter is 8-1.

Bellator 264 is set to take place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The promotion has yet to announce any other fights for the card.
