UNCASVILLE, Conn. – LFA lightweight champion Bryce Logan has his Bellator return fight on the books.

A Fight Ready MMA & Fitness fighter, Logan (12-4 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) will make his second Bellator appearance at Bellator 251 against Georgi Karakhanyan.

Multiple sources recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking. So Cal News Group reporter Brian Martin was the first to report the news.
