Alexander Shlemenko will welcome Brandon Halsey to Russia with a chance at revenge this June.
Three years ago, Halsey choked out Shlemenko in just 35 seconds, winning the Bellator middleweight title.
Halsey has had trouble since, including back-to-back losses to Rafael Carvalho and John Salter that led to his exit from Bellator.
Shlemenko is riding a six-fight unbeaten streak, including a win over Paul Bradley in March.
M-1 Challenge 79 takes place June 1 from St. Petersburg, Russia. The fight was first reported by Sherdog.
